It was found that the dynamics of cooperative rearrangement on the “fluidized domain” has a great shear rate, domain size, and temperature dependences. When the shear rate, domain size, and temperature dependences were taken account into the cooperatively localized rearrangement on the fluidized domain by the degradation of primary α-domain and the reformation of secondary β-co-domain constituent chains. A new dynamic theory of cooperatively localized rearrangement on the fluidized domain constituent chains with different size and different network chain length during physical and mechanical aging was established. The total viscoelastic free en-ergy of deformation resulting from the change in conformations of α-domain, β-co-domain, crytallite, crosslinked, and trapped entanglement constituent chains during aging processes was calculated by the combining method of kinetics and statistical mechanics. The constitu- tive equations and reduced stress relaxation modulus and creep compliances for three types of polymers were also derived. Finally, two reduced universal equations on creep compliance and stress relaxation modulus with a non-linear and two nonexponential parameters α and β were theoretically derived from the dynamic theory and a statistically extended mode coupling theory for double aging effects of polymers was developed. Results show that the two reduced universal equations have the same form as Kohlraush-Williams-Watts (K-W-W) stretched exponential function. The nonlinearity and the nonexponentiality are, respectively, originated from the memory effects of nonthermal and thermal history. The correlation of nonlinearity, α and β to the aging time, aging temperature, and the mesomorphic structure of fluidized domains was also established.展开更多

The mathematical model is formed for both vapor phase and liquid film in a non-dimensional form. The momentum and energy equations as parabolic equations have been solved by means of the locally one-dimensional scheme of A.A. Samarskii. The Poisson equation for the stream function has been approximated on the basis of the discrete scheme "cross". The obtained system of algebraic equations has been solved by the successive over relaxation method. The effect of the Rayleigh number on the velocity and temperature fields in the domain of interest and on the average Nusselt number at the solid-fluid interfaces is investigated.

The present MRT-LBE model overcomes some inherent defects of the original SRT-LBE model such as the fixed Schmidt num- ber and limited viscosity ratio. It is also interestingly shown that the widely used Shan-Chen (SC) model, which is constructed heuristically based on the pseudo-potential concept, can also be regarded as a special case of the present model, and thus putting a solid foundation for this well-accepted multiphase LBE model. A series of nu- merical simulations, including the static droplet and lay- ered co-current flow, are conducted to test the applicability of the present model for immiscible fluids with different Schmidt numbers and large viscosity ratio, which may be difficult for the original SRT-LBE model and the SC model.展开更多
