Flow Measurements

An experimental description of the flow structure of non-Newtonian slurries in the laminar, transitional, and full turbulent pipe flow regimes is the primary objective of this research. Experiments were conducted in a large-scale pipe slurry flow facility with an inside pipe diameter of 51 mm. The transparent slurry formulated for these experiments from silica, mineral oil, and Stoddard solvent exhibited a yield-power-law behavior from concentric-cylinder viscometer measurements. The velocity profile for laminar flow from laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) measurements had a central plug flow region, and it was in agreement with theory. The range of the transition region was narrower than that for a Newtonian fluid. The mean velocity profile for turbulent flow was close to a 1/7 power-law velocity profile. The rms longitudinal velocity profile was also similar to a classical turbulent pipe flow experiment for a Newtonian fluid; however, the rms tangential velocity profile was significantly different.

Turbulent Flow Conditions

Silica suspensions (pH = 6.8) and three different cationic polymers were used to study the kinetics of charge neutralization by polyelectrolyte adsorption. The experiments were performed in a continuous flow pipe reactor under steady state turbulent flow conditions. The charge neutralization was monitored by electrophoretic mobility (EPM) measurements of the suspended particles as a function of time after polyelectrolyte audition. The results show the dependency of the destabilization reaction rate on flow and polymer characteristics.

There have been many investigations of the stability of Hagen–Poiseuille flow in the 125 years since Osborne Reynolds' famous experiments on the transition to turbulence in a pipe, and yet the pipe problem remains the focus of attention of much research. Here, we discuss recent results from experimental and numerical investigations obtained in this new century. Progress has been made on three fundamental issues: the threshold amplitude of disturbances required to trigger a transition to turbulence from the laminar state; the threshold Reynolds number flow below which a disturbance decays from turbulence to the laminar state, with quantitative agreement between experimental and numerical results; and understanding the relevance of recently discovered families of unstable travelling wave solutions to transitional and turbulent pipe flow.
