Analytical Solution of Slow Squeeze Flow of Slightly Viscoelastic Fluid Film between Two Circular Disks Using Recursive Approach

Abstract

This research investigates an analytical solution for the slow squeeze flow of the slightly viscoelastic fluid film between two circular disks in which the upper disk approaches the lower disk with a constant velocity, and the lower disk is kept stationary. The determination of the study is to identify the behavior of the differential type fluid on the steady squeezing flow using Langlois recursive approach. The governing equations for the axisymmetric flow are expressed in cylindrical coordinates and yield the nonlinear system of partial differential equations. The analytical solution of the resulting equations with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions is obtained by the Langlois recursive approach. Flow variables such as stream function, velocity profiles, pressure distribution, shear, normal stresses, and normal force acting on the disk are determined. These flow variables are nondimensionalized by using suitable dimensional quantities. The influence of slightly viscoelastic parameter β , radial distance r , and aspect ratio on velocity components, pressure distribution, and normal squeeze force is examined mathematically and portrayed graphically. The results illustrate that the axial and radial velocities increase at the higher values of the slightly viscoelastic parameter β , which confirms the shear thickening behavior. The obtained solutions of the flow variables satisfied the existing solutions on squeeze flow of viscous fluid upon vanishing the slightly viscoelastic parameters. This solution could elucidate the classical lubrication problems, particularly in load and thrust bearing characteristics of the human body joints, the compression molding process of materials, etc.

A Parametric Study on the Analysis of Thermosolutal Convection for Magneto-Hydrodynamics Dependent Viscous Fluid

“…They also took into account the impact of MHD, thermal radiation, and joule heating. (Memon et al 2022) concentrated on the analytical model of the slow squeeze flow of the moderately viscoelastic fluid layer between two circular discs where the upper disc is moving with constant velocity and the lower disc is stationary. The presented problem was resolved by employing the Langlois recursive technique.…”

Delta Perturbation Method for Couette-Poiseuille flows in Third grade fluids

“…Shear stress and rate of deformation are typically related nonlinearly in biological sciences, industries, and other sciences that are employed in our daily lives, that kind of fluid is referred to non-Newtonian fluid. These fluids are generally more difficult to gather, both numerically and analytically [17], [13]. Although a second-grade fluid model depicts common stress effects for steady flow.…”
