Abstract Analytical expressions for the velocity field and the associated tangential tension corresponding to a potential vortex in an Oldroyd-B fluid are determined by means of the Hankel transform. The well-known solutions for a Navier–Stokes fluid as well as those corresponding to a Maxwell fluid and a second grade one, appear as limiting cases of our solutions. Finally, some comparative diagrams are presented for the circular motion of the glycerine. In each case, the velocity fields as well as the adequate tangential tensions are going to zero for t or r ! 1. Consequently, the potential vortex is damping in time and space. Ó 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction The rheological properties of materials are specified in general by their so-called constitutive equations. These equations determine the flow behavior of the respective materials in arbitrary types of motion. The simplest constitutive equation for a fluid is a Newtonian one. The departure from Newtonian behavior of many real fluids, especially those of high molecular weight, manifests

itself in these materials in many ways [1]. After much experimenting and theorizing it has been concluded that a new and non-linear constitutive equation for the stress is required. Mechanics of non-linear fluids present a special challenge to engineers, physicists and mathematicians. The non-linearity can manifest itself in a variety of ways. One of the simplest material models, which have been employed to study non-Newtonian fluid behavior, is that of second grade fluids [2,3]. This model has received an especially large (perhaps even an inordinately large [4]) amount of attention. Another interesting class of non-Newtonian fluids is that of Maxwell model. This model, belonging to the rate-type fluids 1, has been applied to a large variety of viscoelastic flows, usually with the small dimensionless relaxation time. The models in which besides time derivatives of the stress tensor also derivatives of the rate of strain tensor are included show relaxation as well as retardation behavior. An important example of this kind is the Jeffreys version of the Oldroyd model [1,6–8] in which the Cauchy stress T has the form d d ð1Þ T ¼ pI þ S; S þ k S ¼ l A þ kr A : dt dt Here A is the first Rivlin–Ericksen tensor, pI denotes the indeterminate spherical stress, S is the extra-stress tensor, k and kr are relaxation and retardation times, l is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid and d/dt represents a convective derivative. The most popular choice is the upper convected derivative dS _ ¼ S LS SLT ; dt

where L is the velocity gradient and the dot denotes material time differentiation. The associated model is usually referred to as the Oldroyd-B fluid. This model, as well as the Maxwell model, can be derived from a rigorous thermodynamic standpoint [5]. In fact, the Oldroyd-B model is a special case of the model due to Burgers that was introduced in 1939 [9]. For kr = 0 it reduces to the classical model due to Maxwell, for k = 0 it becomes of the type of a second order fluid and for kr = k = 0 it reduces to a Newtonian one. Recently, the Oldroyd-B fluids have received a lot of attention. Existence, uniqueness and stability results for some motions of viscoelastic fluids of this type have been established by Guillope` and Saut [10] and Fontelos and Friedman [11]. The first exact solutions for the flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid seem to be those of Rajagopal and Bhatnagar [12], Fetecau [13,14] and Fetecau and Fetecau [15]. Other analytical results are obtained by Georgiou [16] for small one-dimensional perturbations and for the limiting case of zero Reynolds number. In this note we study the decay of a potential vortex in such a fluid. The velocity field and the associate tangential tension are determined for all values of the material constants. The corresponding solutions for a Navier–Stokes fluid, as well as those for a Maxwell fluid and a second grade one, appear as limiting cases of our solutions.

2. Statement of the problem We proposed to study the circular motion of an Oldroyd-B fluid, whose velocity field in the system of cylindrical coordinates r, h and z has the form vðr; tÞ ¼ xðr; tÞeh ; ð3Þ where eh denotes the unit vector along the h direction. The initial distribution of the velocity is assumed to be that of a potential vortex of circulation C0 [17], i.e. xðr; 0Þ ¼ C0 =ð2prÞ: ð4Þ Substituting (3) in (1) and (2) and having in mind the initial condition (the fluid being at rest up to the moment t = 0) Sðr; 0Þ ¼ 0 ð5Þ and Eqs. (21.1-4) of [12] (see also [18], Eqs. (2.4)) we get Srr = Srz = Shz = Szz = 0 and ð1 þ kot ÞS hh 2kðor x x=rÞS rh ¼ 2lkr ðor x x=rÞ2 ;

In the same time the equations of motion reduce to (cf. [12], Eqs. (22.1-3)) op 1 þ S hh ¼ qx2 =r or r and or S rh þ 2S rh =r ¼ qot x;
ð8Þ
ð9Þ
where q is the constant density of the fluid. The constraint of incompressibility is automatically satisfied. We also observe that Eqs. (6) and (8) for Shh and p are not coupled with Eqs. (7) and (9), meaning that one can firstly solve the system of the latter two equations and then calculate Shh and p. Eliminating Srh between Eqs. (7) and (9) we attain to the linear partial differential equation (see [12], Eq. (28)) 1 1 2 2 ð10Þ kot xðr; tÞ þ ot xðr; tÞ ¼ mð1 þ kr ot Þ or þ or 2 xðr; tÞ; r r where m = l/q is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid. It is also worth emphasizing that this equation is of a higher order than the similar Navier– Stokes equation or that for a second grade fluid. Thus, in order to obtain an exact solution, in general additional boundary and initial conditions are required. For a detailed discussion about this issue and for some interesting examples we refer the reader to [12] and [19–22].

The normal tension Shh(r, t) as well as the hydrostatic pressure p(r, t) can be easily obtained by means of (5), (6) and (8) as soon as the velocity field x(r, t) and the associated tangential tension Srh(r, t) are known.

terms. This indicates that, in this case, unlike the Navier–Stokes fluid, oscillations are set up in the fluid. The amplitudes of these oscillations decay exponentially in time, the damping being proportional to exp(t/2k). Direct computations show that x(r, t) and Srh(r, t), given by (18)–(20) and (22)–(24) satisfy both the associate partial differential equations (7), (9), (10) and all imposed initial and boundary conditions. Moreover, they remain finite for t and r > 0 and tend to zero for t or r ! 1. In the special cases when kr or k ! 0 our solutions reduce to those corresponding to a Maxwell fluid or a second grade one, respectively. If both kr and k ! 0, corresponding to a Navier–Stokes fluid, these solutions take the simple forms (33) and (34)pin ffiffiffiffi which rx(r, t) and r2Srh(r, t) depend of r and t only by means of the similarity variable r=ð2 mtÞ.

In Figs. 1 and 2, for comparison, the diagrams of the velocity fields and of the adequate tangential tensions for the Oldroyd and Navier–Stokes models are plotted for the circular motion of glycerine. It is clearly seen that for a given value of the time t the velocity corresponding to an Oldroyd-B fluid (given by the relation (18)) is larger than that of a Newtonian fluid (given by the relation (33)). As regards the tangential tensions, as it was to be expected, a reverse situation it is generally found and the difference between the two models, Newtonian and non-Newtonian, is strong enough for small values of t. For large values of t the profiles of the velocities as well as those of the tensions are closing by. Figs. 3 and 4 present the velocity and tangential tension profiles corresponding to an OldroydB, second grade, Maxwell and Navier–Stokes fluid as they result from the relations (18), (25), (27), (33) and (22), (26), (28), (34), respectively. For small values of the time t one can observe both the differences between the adequate diagrams and the oscillations corresponding to the non-Newtonian models. In each case, for large values of t and r, x(r, t) and Srh(r, t) are going to zero. Consequently, the vortex decays in time and space.
