Abstract:We introduce a high-resolution time-marching pressure-correction algorithm to accommodate weakly-compressible highly-viscous polymeric liquid flows at low Mach number. As the incompressible limit is approached ( 0 ≈ Ma ), the consistency of the compressible scheme is highlighted in recovering equivalent incompressible solutions. In retention, yet efficiency in implementation.
“…Taliadorou et al (2008) simulated the extrusion of strongly compressible Newtonian liquids and found that compressibility can lead to oscillatory steady-state free surfaces. Webster et al (2004) introduced numerical algorithms for solving weakly compressible, highly viscous laminar Newtonian flows at low Mach numbers. They applied their methods to the driven cavity and the contraction flow problems.…”
The combined effects of weak compressibility and viscoelasticity in steady, isothermal, laminar axisymmetric Poiseuille flow are investigated. Viscoelasticity is taken into account by employing the Oldroyd-B constitutive model. The fluid is assumed to be weakly compressible with a density that varies linearly with pressure. The flow problem is solved using a regular perturbation scheme in terms of the dimensionless isothermal compressibility parameter. The sequence of partial differential equations resulting from the perturbation procedure is solved analytically up to second order. The two-dimensional solution reveals the effects of compressibility and the other dimensionless numbers and parameters in the flow. Expressions for the average pressure drop, the volumetric flow rate, the total axial stress, as well as for the skin friction factor are also derived and discussed. The validity of other techniques used to obtain approximate solutions of weakly compressible flows is also discussed in conjunction with the present results.

“…This finally results in no change in mean density due to compression and the flow becomes incompressible in the limit, irrespective of the fact that there may still be some large density variations due to non-homogeneous entropy distributions. This necessitates a modified solver algorithm with Mach-uniform accuracy and efficiency, applicable to both compressible and incompressible regimes inside a flow device [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
“…Edwards and Beris [5] adopt a weakly compressible framework so the issue is perhaps not as pertinent there. Webster et al [19] use the static pressure, but in later papers adopt the use of augmented pressure in the equation of state (see [1,9]), presumably recognising that augmented pressure,p, has more physical significance than static pressure, p, within a dynamic setting. Of course, in an isotropic fluid at equilibrium in a region containing a free surface, the two pressure fields are equal since the isotropic part of the extra stress vanishes.…”

On the Mathematical Modelling of a Compressible Viscoelastic FluidThe fundamental principles associated with the development of mathematical models for compressible viscoelastic fluids are described using methodology and examples, that are sometimes conflicting, from the literature. The modelling of compressibility introduces two additional issues that need to be addressed over those that are required for incompressible fluids. The first issue is concerned with the role of variable density in the derivation of viscoelastic constitutive equations. The second, and perhaps more controversial issue, is concerned with the definition of pressure in a compressible setting, where it is seen to be dependent on bulk viscosity. A heuristic derivation of a compressible version of the Upper Convected Maxwell (UCM) model, starting from first principles in elasticity continuum mechanics, is presented, which suggests a dependence between dynamic viscosity and bulk viscosity, thereby addressing both issues.
