✦ Synopsis

In this work, we used a recently proposed constitutive model that addresses the elastic behavior of viscoplastic liquids. We used the equation in an expansion-contraction axisymmetric flow, and compared the results with experimental data found in the literature. Steady, inertialess numerical solutions were obtained by solving the balance equations of mass and momentum via the finite element method. We obtained the velocity and stress fields for different combinations of the governing parameters, and observed that elasticity leads to significant changes in the shape and position of the yield surface, affecting both the extra-stress and the rate of deformation fields in the cavity. The trends observed are in qualitative agreement with visualization results available in the literature.

Two turbulent separated and reattaching flows produced by a sudden expansion in a pipe have been studied. The first was produced by a simple axisymmetric sudden enlargement from a nozzle of diameter 80 mm to a pipe of diameter 150 mm. The second was the flow at the same enlargement with the addition

The three-dimensional flow in a circular duct with a sudden expansion or contraction is considered, and a general analytical solution for creeping flow presented. The resulting calculations predict the evolution of the main features of the flow when the section ratio is varying; they are compared wi
