Characteristic and propagation velocities of the two-fluid models (original) (raw)
Influence of the stiff inter-phase exchange source terms on the propagation velocities of the two fluid models is analyzed. If infinitely fast inter-phase exchange is assumed, i.e. instantaneous thermal and mechanical relaxation, the results of the two-fluid models should be similar to the results homogeneous-equilibrium model, despite different characteristic velocities of both models. Results of the present work show, that the propagation velocities of the two-fluid model with infinitely stiff relaxation terms are indeed equal to the propagation velocities of the homogeneous-equilibrium model - despite large differences in the eigen-structures of the two-fluid models and HEM model. It is known that the speed of sound in two-fluid model is not the same as the HEM speed of sound, however, the propagation speed of the sonic waves of the two-fluid models with infinitely stiff relaxation terms is close to the HEM speed of sound and not the speed of sound of the two-fluid model. For non-stiff relaxation source terms the characteristic velocities of the two-fluid model are approximately equal to the wave propagation velocities.

On the sound speed in two-fluid mixtures and the implications for CFD model validation
European Journal of Mechanics B-fluids, 2021
Study of the propagation of sound in a single non-ideal fluid originates with Stokes in 1845 and Kirchhoff in 1868. The situation is much more complex in the case of two-fluid flow, both from the physical point of view, as the configuration of the flow matters greatly, and from the analytical point of view. The principle two-fluid models currently in use for CFD are the focus of this article. It is shown that analytical expressions for the speed of sound depend heavily on the chosen model. These sound speed expressions are compared with experimental values. The consequences for CFD models are discussed in the final section of this paper. It is found that numerical models with inaccurate wave speeds lead to incorrect numerical solutions, despite the accuracy of the numerical scheme.
On sound dispersion and attenuation in simple and multi-fluids due to thermal and viscous effects
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics
In this paper, we first present an approach to derive the dispersion relation for sound waves in viscous and thermally conductive (mono) fluids. In particular, we derive a dispersion expression (i.e. the variation of the sound velocity as a function of frequency), which is of the second order of magnitude with respect to Knudsen numbers, as in the Stokes case corresponding to a non-conducting fluid (infinite Prandtl number). This formula completes the classical attenuation relation called Stokes-Kirchhoff. 1 In the second part, we present some models for two fluids mixtures, 10 and derive the effect of viscosity on the dispersion and attenuation of sound. In addition, we show how this approach can be used to discriminate multiphase models that do not reproduce physically meaningful sound propagation velocities.
The propagation of sound in particle models of compressible fluids
Numerische Mathematik, 2001
The propagation of sound in compressible fluids is described by the acoustic equations that result from the linearization of the Euler equations around a state of constant mass density and velocity zero. In this article, it is shown that a stable and convergent discretization of the acoustic wave equation for the velocity field can be recovered from the particle model of compressible fluids recently developed by the author in [Numer. Math. (1997) 76: 111-142] by linearizing the equations of motion for the particles. For particles of proper shape, this discretization is second order accurate, and with an obvious modification of the basic particle model, one can even reach an arbitrarily high order of convergence.
Sound propagation in phase-separating fluids
Physical Review A, 1991
We examine sound propagation in two-phase states of oneand two-component fluids by taking into account heat and mass transport between the two phases. For the sake of simplicity, detailed calculations are performed on near-critical fluids undergoing nucleation or spinodal decomposition, which exhibit very large acoustic anomalies at relatively low frequencies. As a universal relation the zero-frequency sound speed is reduced to 82% of the sound speed without domains in nearcritical pure fluids. However, our predictions can be applied even to fluids far from criticality. One of our main findings is that, when droplets are sparsely distributed, sounds can induce latent-heat generation or absorption at the interfaces and produce long-range temperature gradients extending far from the droplets. The sounds are then anomalously attenuated at low frequencies, and the effect may be used to detect onset of nucleation. We also calculate a frequency-dependent adiabatic compressibility in two-phase states, which is valid even far from criticality and is applicable to bubbly fluids. It reproduces the effective-medium theory at relatively high frequencies and a Landau-Lifshitz result in the zero-frequency limit. The mechanism investigated is general and is not limited to fluids.
On the sound dispersion and attenuation in fluids due to thermal and viscous effects
2021
In this paper, we derive a dispersion relation for sound waves in viscous and heat conducting fluids. In particular this dispersion (i.e. variation of speed of sound with frequency) is shown to be of second order of magnitude, w.r.t. Knudsen numbers, as in the Stokes [2] case, corresponding to non-conductive fluid (Prandtl number Pr = ∞). This formula completes the classical attenuation relation called StokesKirchhoff. We represent in a simplified manner the Kirchhoff approach to derive this attenuation [1], starting from the 3D compressible Navier-stokes system. The classical Stokes-Kirchhoff formula has been questioned recently in [3] and a different (and incorrect) formula was proposed. We point out the non-trivial assumptions that are violated in the new derivation in [3] to reestablish the classical Stokes-Kirchhoff formula. Finally, we give an explanation to differences in dispersion and attenuation formulae that one may find in the literature through analysing the form of the...
Viscoelastic model for the transition from normal to fast sound in water
The cross-over from hydrodynamic to fast sound in water at 5 C has recently been mapped experimentally by means of inelastic X-ray scattering. We show that a viscoelastic model gives a good account of both the longitudinal-current autocorrelation function and the dynamic structure factor in the region of the cross-over. Evidence is also given for a weakly dispersing excitation observed in these experiments being a liquid state remnant of an oxygen-related optic mode in ice.
