AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling high-viscosity layered waste pumping using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The user seeks to formulate a problem involving the flow of viscous, incompressible layered waste from industrial storage lagoons. The proposed formulation includes investigating 2-D stationary laminar flow and considers the effects of heating on the waste. Participants suggest that the Navier-Stokes equations are suitable for this scenario, noting that if viscosity is temperature-dependent, the momentum, continuity, and energy equations will need to be coupled. The conversation emphasizes the importance of specifying geometry and flow conditions for accurate modeling.

Please, can somebody help in a problem related to FD and outlined below.
I need to formulate a problem for the following question: modeling of liquid flows during a process of pumping from open storages. A liquid is high viscous waste similar to highly viscous oils. It is layered waste from coke making and petroleum refining plants. The waste are stored in nature reservoirs like a lagoons having three layers and it must be pumped with partly heating in predetermined depth.
Is the following formulation right and can be solved using current CFD codes: "Investigation of liquid flow of viscous incompessible layered waste in 2-D stationary laminar flow during a process of pumping from storages of industrial plants"?
Please, maybe somebody can suggest how to correct or complicate the formulation, may be by addition heating process problem or other definition for the Navier-Stokes equations?

Thank you in advance!

Maybe it is a bit complex for me giving you the OK for your problem. You should specify more the geometry and flow.

At first sight I think that Incompressible Flow N-S equations are accurate for your purposes. Don't worry about heating. The heating will only affect to temperature field, only and only if the viscosity doesn't depends on temperature. If viscosity depends on temperature, then both momentum, continuity and energy equations are coupled.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
