Steady bubble rise and deformation in Newtonian and viscoplastic fluids and conditions for bubble entrapment

J Tsamopoulos, Y Dimakopoulos… - Journal of Fluid …, 2008 - cambridge.org
We examine the buoyancy-driven rise of a bubble in a Newtonian or a viscoplastic fluid
assuming axial symmetry and steady flow. Bubble pressure and rise velocity are …

A new finite element formulation for viscoelastic flows: Circumventing simultaneously the LBB condition and the high-Weissenberg number problem

S Varchanis, A Syrakos, Y Dimakopoulos… - Journal of Non …, 2019 - Elsevier
In this paper, we propose a new, fully consistent and highly stable finite element formulation
for the simulation of viscoelastic flows. In our method, we have implemented equal order …

D Wang, D Tan, N Phan-Thien - Physics of Fluids, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
We report some numerical simulations of multiphase viscoelastic fluids based on an
algorithm that employs a diffusive-interface lattice Boltzmann method together with a lattice …

Forward roll coating flows of viscoelastic liquids

GA Zevallos, MS Carvalho, M Pasquali - Journal of non-newtonian fluid …, 2005 - Elsevier
Roll coating is distinguished by the use of one or more gaps between rotating cylinders to
meter and apply a liquid layer to a substrate. Except at low speed, the two-dimensional film …

On the elliptic mesh generation in domains containing multiple inclusions and undergoing large deformations

N Chatzidai, A Giannousakis, Y Dimakopoulos… - Journal of …, 2009 - Elsevier
We present an improved method to generate a sequence of structured meshes even when
the physical domain contains deforming inclusions. This method belongs to the class of …

Transient squeeze flow of viscoplastic materials

G Karapetsas, J Tsamopoulos - Journal of non-newtonian fluid mechanics, 2006 - Elsevier
The transient, axisymmetric squeezing of viscoplastic materials under creeping flow
conditions is examined. The flow of the material even outside the disks is followed. Both …

Dynamics of viscoelastic liquid filaments: Low capillary number flows

PP Bhat, OA Basaran, M Pasquali - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid …, 2008 - Elsevier
Many applications of viscoelastic free surface flows requiring formation of drops from small
nozzles, eg, ink-jet printing, micro-arraying, and atomization, involve predominantly …

Dynamics of the removal of viscoplastic fluids from inclined pipes

K Alba, IA Frigaard - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - Elsevier
The dynamics of the removal of a viscoplastic fluid by a Newtonian fluid is investigated
experimentally and theoretically in an inclined pipe based on our previous studies on near …

Discretization of three-dimensional free surface flows and moving boundary problems via elliptic grid methods based on variational principles

D Fraggedakis, J Papaioannou… - Journal of …, 2017 - Elsevier

presented. We have extended the 2D elliptic grid generator developed by Dimakopoulos …

Flow regimes for the immiscible liquid–liquid displacement in capillary tubes with complete wetting of the displaced liquid

EJ Soares, RL Thompson - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2009 - cambridge.org
The motion of two immiscible liquids in a capillary tube is analysed, theoretically and
numerically, for the case in which a residual film confines the displacing liquid to the core of …
