The steady motion of a simple fluid between vertical cylinders which rotate about non-concentric axes is solved by means of domain perturbations. The theory is developed as a perturbation of the rest state in powers of the angular frequency Q of the inner cylinder, and the solution is carried out to 0 (a’). The stress is expanded in a series of Rivlin-Ericksen tensors. At the second order only one material parameter, the climbing constant, enters the analysis. A procedure is developed for predicting the shape of the free surface on the fluid. Secondary motions generated by the eccentricity are shown to appear at the second order.

1. Introduction

The deformation of the free surface on a viscoelastic liquid which is subjected to a shearing motion can be used to generate information about the constitutive equation for the liquid. In a recent paper, Beavers, Yoo and Joseph [l] examined the potential for using a concentric cylinder geometry for such measurements. They found in their experiments that the shape of the free surface was extremely sensitive to smaIl eccentricities in the axes of the cylinders. These observations demonstrated that an analysis and systematic experimental investigation to document the influence of eccentricity on the free surface shape would be of value in determining the usefulness of the concentric cylinder configuration for rheological free surface measurements. This paper presents an analysis for the motion of a viscoelastic fluid * Now at the Mechanical Engineering Department,

94 between vertical eccentric cylinders undergoing differential rotation, and a companion paper [2] reports experimental observations. The region between two vertical eccentric cylinders is filled with a viscoelastic liquid. The top of the region is open to the atmosphere. When the liquid is sheared from the boundary, normal stresses are induced. These stresses are along and perpendicular to cylinder generators, on planes which are perpendicular to the planes of shear. The free surface on the liquid is deformed in the direction of the cylinder generators by the normal stresses. The idea of using the free surface on a simple fluid in motion to make rheological measurements with the aim of determining the material constants was first investigated by Wineman and Pipkin [3] and Tanner [4]. Later Joseph and Fosdick [5] observed that the free surface on a simple fluid in the Weissenberg phenomena reflects the effect of the internal pressures and thus can be used to yield viscometric functions. They solved the free surface problem between concentric cylinders rotating at different speeds using domain perturbation theory. Joseph and Fosdick set their treatment within the framework of Noll’s theory of simple fluids so that a fluid of grade N could be considered. They developed the analysis up to order four for narrow gaps. The flow field between concentric rotating cylinders with a large annular gap was solved by Yoo [6,7]. It was observed that, up to order four, the deformation of the free surface is completely governed by the rheological constants entering the viscometric functions. Thus the free surface in a non-viscometric flow is determined, at least up to order four, by the viscometric functions alone. Beavers, Yoo and Joseph [l] proceeded to determine numerical values for combinations of the constitutive constants entering viscometric functions. A potential difficulty in using a concentric cylinder geometry to measure normal stress effects is that any eccentricity in the axes of the cylinders will induce circumferential pressure gradients independent of the normal stress effects. These additional gradients are mainly first order effects and may be described as “lubrication effects”. These effects can completely dominate the dynamics of the flow system for fluids which exhibit only small normal stresses. In this paper the analytical problem is solved using the ideas developed by Coleman and Noll[8] and the theory of domain perturbations. It is assumed that the stress response functional of the simple fluid is Frechet differentiable at the zero history in an appropriate function space of fading memories. The stress is expanded in a perturbation series in terms of the angular velocity St. At first order, we obtain a plane flow with an asymmetrical free surface. At second order the problem is reduced to three sub-problems: (i) a plane Newtonian flow which collapses, as the eccentricity goes to zero, onto

the axially symmetrical solution for the case of two concentric cylinders; (ii) a top-driven, three dimensional, Newtonian flow which tends to zero as the eccentricity tends to zero and which generates secondary flows due to eccentricity; and (iii) a non-Newtonian pressure gradient which is balanced by a gradient with zero flow. As the eccentricity gets larger, the flow dynamics start being dominated by the first order terms and the top driven Newtonian flow at second order. The plane Newtonian flow at second order is solved analytically, and the three dimensional top driven flow is treated by a finite difference method. 2. Statement of the problem We consider the problem of an incompressible simple fluid which initially occupies the space VO between two fixed eccentric cylinders. The fluid is exposed to the atmospheric pressure pa. The inner and outer cylinders are rotated about their respective axes with angular velocities fJ and AQ respec-

The problem (4.9a,b,c, 4.10) is solved by variation of parameters. The solution is long and tedious and the interested reader is referred to [12]. Expressions similar to (4.1) and (4.5) were formerly obtained by Kamal [13], and Ballal and Rivlin [14] in the related but completely different problem of the flow of a Newtonian liquid between infinitely long eccentric cylinders without a free surface. Ballal and Bivlin’s work is very extensive and corrects some mistakes in the analysis given by Kamal. The pressure distribution may be obtained from (3.15a) $‘)

TF is the previously calculated value of T at P = (i, j, k). When a > 1 we have over-relaxation whereas a < 1 induces under-relaxation [15]. A line by line iteration or traverse method is used. The convergence of the method is quite fast. Upon noting that the boundary conditions (3.16c,d) and (3.16e) are respectively even and odd in 17 and that the field equations (3.16a) or their equivalent (4.12) are satisfied by flow variables even in 1 except for the 9 component of the velocity which is odd in 77, the domain of the finite difference solution is taken as ~={E,77,z152~5~5~,0~17~~,Z~~zo}, where 2 is determined through exploratory computations such that the pressure field at z = 0 is not affected further by a change in the depth of field. The algorithm has several interesting features, chief among them the convergence properties and the treatment of the corner singularity. Details of the analysis will be published elsewhere [16]. 4.4 Plane non-Newtonian problem The non-linearity appears at 2nd order.

Each of the equations (5.4) is solved by a combination of Runge-Kutta and shooting methods. At second order there are Newtonian and non-Newtonian contributions to the height correction coefficients. The Newtonian contribution is twofold, Hi2) from the Newtonian plane flow (3.15) and Hi2) from the top-driven Newtonian flow (3.16). Although the Newtonian plane flow problem can be solved analytically, the expression (4.11a,b) for the pressure field is complicated. In the top-driven Newtonian problem the pressure field is solved simultaneously with the velocity field by finite differences and the values of the pressure at z = 0 are then known at the grid points. A finite difference method with a 2nd order truncation error is then used to solve (5.1) and evaluate Hi’) and Hi2). 5.2 Non-Newtonian

At second order, the pressure field @I’) corresponding to the plane Newtonian flow collapses onto the pressure field of the axisymmetric flow corresponding to the concentric cylinder geometry [5,12]. We checked these assertions numerically for several geometries. In the same way the pressure field of the top-driven Newtonian flow goes to zero and the pressure field of the non-Newtonian flow collapses onto the axially-symmetric case as the eccentricity goes to zero. The height rise coefficients follow the same pattern. At second order the analysis involves only one viscoelastic parameter, the climbing constant. Its value can be determined from rod-climbing experiments [17]. Acknowledgement
