A generalized complex eigenvalue problem generated from the linearized set of the three-dimensional governing system equations around the basic Couette azimuthal solution are solved numerically with the Chebyshev spectral method. In a wide range of radius ratios and the magnitudes of counter rotating, critical bifurcation thresholds from the axisymmetric Couette flow to the flow with different azimuthal wave numbers are obtained. The complex dispersion relations of the linearized stability equation system for vortex patterns with different azimuthal wave number are calculated for real axial wave numbers for axially extended vortex structures.展开更多

The constitutive model proposed by Ericksen was used to represent the role of fiber additives on the stress tensor. The generalized eigenvalue equation governing the hydrodynamic stability of the system was solved using a direct numerical procedure. The results showed that the fiber additives can suppress the instability of the flow. At the same time, the non-axisymmetric disturbance is the preferred mode that makes the fiber suspensions unstable when the ratio of the angular ve- locity of the outer cylinder to that of the inner cylinder is a large negative number.展开更多

Based on the axisymmetric normal mode for the disturbances, a modified stability equation was derived. Then the numerical solution of the eigenvalue problem about the equation was obrained using the fourth order finite difference scheme. The marginal curves that determine the instability property were drawn. The results show that the flow instability of the dilute fiber suspensions is governed by the aspect ratio of fiber H, the inerement of H causes an increase of critical inner Reynohts number. The fiber additives effectively attenuate the instability of the flow. which is in agreement with those of related experiments.展开更多

The effects of closure models and three_dimensional (3_D) orientation distribution of fibers on the results of stability analysis were examined. It is found that the relationship of the behavior in hydrodynamic stability and the parameter of the fiber given by all the three models are the same. However, the attenuation of flow instability is most distinct using 3_D hybrid model because the orientation of the fiber departures from the flow direction, and least apparent using its 2_D counterpart for that the fibers show a tendency towards alignment with the flow direction in this case.展开更多
