Abstract:
In industrial processes in which yield stress fluids are involved, the sudden transition between solid and fluid states depending on the applied load is a major issue in manyapplications. Additionally, yield stress fluids exhibit other characteristics including their slippage and the existence of elastic deformation below the yield stress.This thesis aims to understand the structure of elasto-viscoplastic fluid flows and, in particular, the parameters affecting flow morphology and applied forces.This research analyses two situations: (1) fluid flows around a plate perpendicular to the flow and (2) Rayleigh Bénard's instabilities based on numerical modelling with FEMLIP.Firstly, the objective is to identify the effects of plasticity and elasticity using the law of elasto-viscoplastic behaviour, which is an association of Herschel-Bulkley's andMaxwell's models. Moreover, the effects of plasticity and elasticity are compared with available experimental results obtained with a fluid model (Carbopol gel).In this comparison, more complex effects (Shear-thinning, wall slip, the initial state of stress) have been taken into account. The results show a decrease in drag coefficient of the plate when the Oldroyd number (ratio between plastic and viscous effects) becomes predominant. Drag force is also reduced when the Oldroyd number (ratio between plastic and viscous effects) is predominant. The drag coefficient tends towards an asymptotic value which indicates that beyond a certain Oldroyd number, this drag coefficient is not governed by velocity but depends only on yield stress. Drag force increases with elasticity. Besides, the elastic effects are responsible for the dissymmetry that is observed between upstream and downstream the obstacle. The analysis of stress fields allows us to conclude that total drag force is dominated by pressure. Both experimentally and numerically, the influence of an initial state of stress of the material is observed significantly in the area of plastic effect predominant compared to viscous effects. The results obtained with FEMLIP are in the same orders of magnitude that the ones provided by the experiments. In Rayleigh Bénard's case of convection, for a purely viscoplastic fluid thus no elastic effect, the Nusselt number and the velocity norm decrease with an increasing plastic effect therefore the Bingham number (Bn). Beyond a critical value of the Bingham number Bnc (Bnc=1.7), the heat transfer is purely conductive one (Nu = 1). Therefore, elasticity plays a destabilizing role and leads to an enhancement of the convection strength as well as heat transfer via the mean Nusselt number (Nu = 1).Consequently, the size of the yielded regions increases with elasticity. In addition, an increase in the field of the second invariant of the stress tensor in the center of the cavity is shown with increasing Wi. Furthermore, we notice that the first difference of the normal components is the main responsible for the shape of the unyielded regions. The highest values of normal stresses are obtained in the area of recirculation of the fluid (vortex), indicating significant elastic effects. Kinematic, temperature and stress field, shape and size of yielded and unyielded zones investigations allowed to better understand the local phenomena for the same ratio of yield stress effects to buoyancy effects, leading for the slippage case to a distinct convective transfer and for the adherent case to a conductive transfer. The convective onset criteria are in the same orders of magnitude both in sliding and adherent conditions in comparison with experiments.
