(Communicated

problem of the flow of a third grade fluid between two parallel plates with heat transfer is studied. We prove that von Karman type solutions are not admissible for a general third grade fluid, but it may be experienced by a particular subclass which we put in evidence. The existence, the uniqueness and the dependence on the little parameters a = RePr of the solution of the heat transfer problem are then analysed. Some numerical experiments concerning the first two approximations of the attached Taylor expansion of the solution of this problem are represented.

Abstract-The

1. INTRODUCTION

The problem of finding admissible solution (for some flows) for viscoelastic polynomial fluids has very few works dedicated. In the paper of Verma et al. [3], for instance, a particular problem for second grade fluids was investigated. We try to solve it for a third grade fluid. If such flows (as von Karman’s solutions describe) may be experienced by a third grade fluid, then we can imagine some physical experiments in order to simulate this flow and so we expect to have a real chance to determine supplementary relations (different from viscometric ones) between constitutive coefficients. In order to do this we analyse in the first part of this paper the existence of von Karman’s solutions for the proposed problem. We already consider the conditions such as the constitutive coefficients be constant and we denote Al = Vv + (Vv)’ and A,, = &_1 + A,_IL + LTA,_, (n = 2, 3, . . . ) “V” is the gradient operator and “0” represents the material derivative) the well known Rivlin-Ericksen tensors. The main conclusion of this part is that a general viscoelastic fluid of third grade (such as it was described in [l, 21) cannot experience a von Karman flow, but this is possible for a particular subclass. For this subclass a solution can be constructed by a power series technique (in Reynolds number). For such a fluid and such a solution of the mechanical problem we analyse in the second part the heat transfer problem. A heat transfer equation is deduced and first we observe that the field of the absolute temperature 8 does not directly depend on the constitutive coefficient /3*. An existence and uniqueness theorem for the solution of the bilocal attached problem is proved. The regularity of this solution is investigated as well as the dependence of the solution on the parameter a = Pr Re (where Pr is the Prandtl number and Re is the Reynolds number). We prove that the solution may be developed in a Taylor series in “a”, in the neighbourhood of a = 0. The first approximations are calculated. Conclusions regarding some numerical experiments on the temperature field are pointed out at the end of this paper. The author is grateful to Professor An Cihol Ho for many discussions and some calculus performed concerning the first part of this paper (during his doctoral stage at the University of Bucharest). I am grateful also to Dr E. Soo’s for useful remarks concerning the final form of this paper and to Dr I. R. Ionescu for the help in the performance of numerical calculi.

where T represents Cauchy’s stress tensor, p(x, t) is the hydrostatic pressure, p, oi, pi (i = 1, 2, 3) are constant constitutive coefficients with known significances, I is the identity tensor and tr(*) is the trace operator. Following [l, 21 we have the constitutive restrictions

The fluid flows between two parallel plates. The upper one is supposed to be porous and the fluid passes through with constant vertical velocity.

v(-vy)I,=d = -v0j (in order to conserve the mass of the fluid between plates) where “d” is the distance between the two plates. The other one moves with the velocity

v(x, y)lv=O = (cx)i, “i” and “j” are the versors in the horizontal and respective vertical directions and “c” is a given constant. We remark that the origin is preserved at rest (see also Fig. 1). The two plates are kept at constant but different temperatures. Due to the fact that the constitutive coefI?cients are independent of the temperature the flow problem is independent of the thermic one. In this part of the paper we are interested in the following problem: does a general viscoelastic fluid of third grade accept a von K&man solution for the flow problem described above? For that, let u and u be the two components of the velocity field in the horizontal and vertical Cartesian axes. A solution of von KarmBn type is given by v = -cdf(q)

U = CXf’(?j) where y = dg. A straightforward motion

The form of the equations (4) demands with necessity, after some calculi, to suppose that the hydrostatic pressure has the following form El;P = -Pt(ri> +$A??~ Then, multiplying the equation (41, by d*/c,ux and the equation (4)2 by d/PC we find f’” = Re( fr2 - y)

We easily observe that any general solution of the equation ($3 4 &)flr2f,” = 0

(7) cannot satisfy the other equations. Indeed, we see that the equation dJdy(f"j3 = 0 has no solution if we consider any bilocal problem obtained from the described mechanical problem [for instance f(O) =f’(l) = 0, f’(O) = 1, f(l) = vn/cd]. So the system may accept a solution if and only if a2 -I-& = 0. As we shall see, this is a very strong condition. Indeed, if we consider also the constitutive restrictions (2),,d we have !%=Q

i%+A=Q

(8) Thus we conclude that a general viscoelastic fluid of third grade cannot accept von K&&n’s solutions for any problem of the kind mentioned above.

For the particuiar subclass of third grade fluids described by (1) and (8) we see that, by simple manipulations, we can obtain from the system (6’) a differential equation for f and two other equations for p1 and p2 f~=Re(f'f~-~)~~~Re~v-f~zv) p;=f"+ Reff’-

We remark immediately that the velocity field will not depend on j& (thus, in a sense, it is an universal field). The pressure field will depend on /3* and the Cauchy’s tensor, in each fluid particle, will depend also on &. The data for our problem are f(O)=f'(l)=O,

f'(O)= 1,

We seek the solution of the problem (8)-(10)

f(l)=volcd

in the form (Re << 1)

A sequence of linear problems is obtained which solutions are poIynomials in n E [O, I] and depend on 9, al and the boundary data. That is fy= 0;

u= cx{fXrl)+Refi(rl) +Re'fi(rl)) +O(Re3) where J(q) are all polynomials in 9. In conclusion, a general viscoelastic fluid of third grade cannot experience flows. A particular viscoelastic fluid of third grade given by T=-pi+

~A,-~*(A~-A~)~~~(A*A~+ A1A2- A,tr(Az))

(14) von Kairm&n type (‘15)

can experience such flows (at least in the approximation described above). We observe also that even this particular class of fluids is yet more general than that which was obtained by Fosdick and Rajagopal 141. We remark that in the case &-+ 0 we formally obtain from (15) the constitutive equation for a second grade fluid and due to the form of the equation (9) we have the solution obtained in [31. It is necessary also to remark that in the case described above the function F(n) = (5/2)uf'+(1/4)a"f (w here n = Re) is at least in the first two approximations of f, strictly positive for rj E [0, 11, wRen a <<1 and vo/cd is greater then a suitable constant. This should be of interest in the second part of this paper. We see that the shear stresses are independent of the constitutive coefficient &. But if we evaluate the difference between the normal stresses (in fixed x points) on the two plates we

Supposing that the internal energy is a measure (at least on equilibrium processes) of the heating of the body, and that the specific heat coefficient is independent of 8 (i.e. is a material constant) we have E(0, e) = c,e

We suppose that the temperature variation between the two plates is so as the constitutive coefficients remain constant during the experience. Then we obtain the following stationary problem -pc,VoVB

Then let be C=IF* - $aN. The condition C >O gives us a << (2n2)/5N which is perfectly realizable in our problem (where we have supposed that a << 1). Finally it results that 9 is coercive. With this we can say that there exists an unique solution of the problem (33) and this one is the same as the classical solution of this problem. Consequently g E C’((0, 1)) rl C1([O, 11) and due to the notations (32), I&has the same properties. For the ~rob~~rn (30)-~~), denoting by h(n) iifz-2$(q)

In what follows we will analyse the behaviour of the solution [for instance for the problem (30)-(31)] as a function of the data, of the parameter “a” and the regularity of the solution. In fact we produce some apriori estimates of the L2 norm of the solution and of his derivatives. Let the problem be ~“+&‘-2uf’lJJ+uf”2=0 V(O) = w(1) = 0

A set of numerical experiments are presented in the Figs 2-4. We remark that due to the lower plate movement at great distances the fluid is much more heated. The temperature variation is linear throughout in the neighbourhood of this plate (due to grate internal dissipations). A small variation of the temperature is to be remarked in the vicinity of the upper plate due to the continuous advection of mass fluid [all these remarks concern the approximation of first order give by the formula (63)]. If the difference between the temperature of the two plates is smaller we see that the difference between the zero and first order approximations is more important than in the case where we have a large difference between these temperatures. So we may consider that for large differences between the
