黏弹性流体基纳米流体(viscoelastic fluid based nanofluid,VFBN)是一种具有湍流减阻和对流换热相对强化特性的新型换热工质,其湍流减阻机理与流变学特性关系密切。通过对以2.5×10-3、5×10-3、1×10-2三种质量分数的十六烷基三甲基氯化铵/水杨酸钠水溶液为基液,粒子体积分数为0.1%、0.25%、0.5%、1.0%的铜纳米流体的剪切黏度、零剪切黏度以及松弛时间的测量,实验结果表明VFBN有明显的剪切稀变特性,同时纳米粒子的添加增大了基液的零剪切黏度,并导致基液黏弹性增强。以Giesekus本构模型为理论基础,利用实验参数得到了描述VFBN剪切黏度的实验关联式。
In this paper,we present a direct numerical simulation（DNS） of elastic turbulence of viscoelastic fluid at vanishingly low Reynolds number（Re = 1） in a three-dimensional straight channel flow for the first time,using the Giesekus constitutive model for the fluid.In order to generate and maintain the turbulent fluid motion in the straight channel,a sinusoidal force term is added to the momentum equation,and then the elastic turbulence is numerically realized with an initialized chaotic velocity field and a stretched conformation field.Statistical and structural characteristics of the elastic turbulence therein are analyzed based on the detailed information obtained from the DNS.The fluid mixing enhancement effect of elastic turbulence is also demonstrated for the potential applications of this phenomenon.
