The effects of roughness and normal stress on hydraulic properties of fractures are significant during the coupled shear flow test. Knowing the laws of fluid flow and solute transport in fractures is essential to ensure the nature and safety of geological projects. Although many experiments and numerical simulations of coupled shear flow test have been conducted, there is still a lack of research on using the full Navier-Stokes (N-S) equation to solve the real flow characteristics of fluid in three-dimensional rough fractures. The main purpose of this paper is to study the influence of roughness and normal stress on the fluid flow and solute transport through fractures under the constant normal stiffness boundary condition. Based on the corrected successive random addition (SRA) algorithm, fracture surfaces with different roughness expressed by the Hurst coefficient ( H ) were generated. By applying a shear displacement of 5 mm, the sheared fracture models with normal stresses of 1 MPa, 3 MPa, and 5 MPa were obtained, respectively. The hydraulic characteristics of three-dimensional fractures were analyzed by solving the full N-S equation. The particle tracking method was employed to obtain the breakthrough curves based on the calculated flow field. The numerical method was verified with experimental results. It has been found that, for the same normal stress, the smaller the fracture H value is (i.e., more tough the fracture is), the larger the mechanical aperture is. The ratio of hydraulic aperture to mechanical aperture ( e h / e m ) decreases with the increasing of normal stress. The smaller the H value, the effect of the normal stress on the ratio e h / e m is more significant. The variation of transmissivity of fractures with the flow rate exhibits similar manner with that of e h / e m . With the normal stress and H value increasing, the mean velocity of particles becomes higher and more particles move to the outlet boundary. The dispersive transport behavior becomes obvious when normal stress is larger.

We report the normal stresses in a non-Brownian suspension in plane Couette flow determined from Stokesian Dynamics simulations. The presence of normal stresses that are linear in the shear rate in a viscometric flow indicates a non-Newtonian character of the suspension, which is otherwise Newtonian. While in itself of interest, this phenomenon is also important because it is believed that normal stresses determine the migration of particles in flows with inhomogeneous shear fields. We simulate plane Couette flow by placing a layer of clear fluid adjacent to one wall in the master cell, which is then replicated periodically. From a combination of the traceless hydrodynamic stresslet on the suspended particles, the stresslet due to (non-hydrodynamic) inter-particle forces, and the total normal force on the walls, we determine the hydrodynamic and inter-particle force contributions to the isotropic ‘particle pressure’ and the first normal stress difference. We determine the stresses for a range of the particle concentration and the Couette gap. The particle pressure and the first normal stress difference exhibit a monotonic increase with the mean particle volume fraction ϕ. The ratio of normal to shear stresses on the walls also increases with ϕ, substantiating the result of Nott & Brady (1994) that this condition is required for stability to concentration fluctuations. We also study the microstructure by extracting the pair distribution function from our simulations; our results are in agreement with previous studies showing anisotropy in the pair distribution, which is the cause of normal stresses.

Abstract The data set of steady and transient shear data reported by Santangelo and Roland Journal of Rheology 45: 583–594, (2001) in the nonlinear range of shear rates of an unentangled polystyrene melt PS13K with a molar mass of 13.7 kDa is analysed by using the single integral constitutive equation approach developed by Narimissa and Wagner Journal of Rheology 64:129–140, (2020) for elongational and shear flow of Rouse melts. We compare model predictions with the steady-state, stress growth, and stress relaxation data after start-up shear flows. In characterising the linear-viscoelastic relaxation behaviour, we consider that in the vicinity of the glass transition temperature, Rouse modes and glassy modes are inseparable, and we model the terminal regime of PS13K by effective Rouse modes. Excellent agreement is achieved between model predictions and shear viscosity data, and good agreement with first normal stress coefficient data. In particular, the shear viscosity data of PS13K as well as of two polystyrene melts with M = 10.5 kDa and M = 9.8 kDa investigated by Stratton Macromolecules 5 (3): 304–310, (1972) agree quantitatively with the universal mastercurve predicted by Narimissa and Wagner for unentangled melts, and approach a scaling of Wi−1/2at sufficiently high Weissenberg numbers Wi. Some deviations between model predictions and data are seen for stress growth and stress relaxation of shear stress and first normal stress difference, which may be attributed to limitations of the experimental data, and may also indicate limitations of the model due to the complex interactions of Rouse modes and glassy modes in the vicinity of the glass transition temperature.

The shear flow rheological properties of sugar solutions (70% w/w concentration) modified by different cellulose derivatives have been measured. Thickeners  were expected to cause the viscoelastic behaviour of the resulting sol ution. Therefore, the elastic rheological parameters were measured by oscillatory shear technique (phase angle, elastic modulus) and also the first normal stress difference N<sub>1</sub>. The increase of thickener concen tration caused a moderate increase of non-Newtonian behaviour in the shear flow. The sensory viscosity (ra nged between 0 and 100%) was evaluated by five different methods - as an effort for stirring with teaspoon, time for flowing down the spoon, slurping from spoon, compression between tongue and palate and swallowing. The influence of shear viscosity and first normal difference on sensory viscosity was tested. Correlation procedu re between change of sensory viscosity .tlSE and change of shear viscosity .tlJ.Iz showed that only for swallowing there is a statistically evident de­pendence. The correlation between change of sensory viscosity t.SE and first normal stress difference N<sub>1</sub> is not statistically   evident. For all the methods of sensory evaluation the dependence between these parameters is only weak and indirect (with increasing normal stress difference the sensory viscosity is decreasing).

An efficient algorithm for hydrodynamical interaction of many deformable drops subject to shear flow at small Reynolds numbers with triply periodic boundaries is developed. The algorithm, at each time step, is a hybrid of boundary-integral and economical multipole techniques, and scales practically linearly with the number of drops N in the range N < 1000, for NΔ ∼ 103 boundary elements per drop. A new near-singularity subtraction in the double layer overcomes the divergence of velocity iterations at high drop volume fractions c and substantial viscosity ratio γ. Extensive long-time simulations for N = 100–200 and NΔ = 1000–2000 are performed up to c = 0.55 and drop-to-medium viscosity ratios up to λ = 5, to calculate the non-dimensional emulsion viscosity μ* = Σ12/(μeγ˙), and the first N1 = (Σ11−Σ22)/(μe[mid ]γ˙[mid ]) and second N2 = (Σ22−Σ33)/(μe[mid ]γ˙[mid ]) normal stress differences, where γ˙ is the shear rate, μe is the matrix viscosity, and Σij is the average stress tensor. For c = 0.45 and 0.5, μ* is a strong function of the capillary number Ca = μe[mid ]γ˙[mid ]a/σ (where a is the non-deformed drop radius, and σ is the interfacial tension) for Ca [Lt ] 1, so that most of the shear thinning occurs for nearly non-deformed drops. For c = 0.55 and λ = 1, however, the results suggest phase transition to a partially ordered state at Ca [les ] 0.05, and μ* becomes a weaker function of c and Ca; using λ = 3 delays phase transition to smaller Ca. A positive first normal stress difference, N1, is a strong function of Ca; the second normal stress difference, N2, is always negative and is a relatively weak function of Ca. It is found at c = 0.5 that small systems (N ∼ 10) fail to predict the correct behaviour of the viscosity and can give particularly large errors for N1, while larger systems N [ges ] O(102)show very good convergence. For N ∼ 102 and NΔ ∼ 103, the present algorithm is two orders of magnitude faster than a standard boundary-integral code, which has made the calculations feasible.

Induced Crystallization

The paper presents a numerical simulation for the isothermal flow-induced crystallization of polyethylene under a simple shear flow. The effect of flow on crystllization is considered through the simple mathematical relationship between the additional number of nuclei induced by shear treatment and the first normal stress difference. Leonov viscoelastic model and Avrami model are used to describe the normal stress difference and the crystallization kinetics, respectively. It is found that the short-term shear treatment has a large effect on the crystallization dynamics of polyethylene , but the effect of the intensity of the shear flow is not infinite ,which shows a saturation phenomenon, namely, the accelerated degree of crystallization tending to level off when the shear rate or shear time is large enough.
