Flow of a fluid-solid mixture: Normal stress differences and slip boundary condition

摘要

In this paper, using mixture theory we study the flow of a dense suspension, composed of solid particles and a fluid; the emphasis is on the influence of the slip boundary condition and the effect of normal stress differences. Very little work has been done considering both the slip at the walls and the normal stress effects in the frame of a two-component flow. In this paper, the stress tensor for the solid component is modeled as a nonlinear fluid which not only includes the viscous effects but also the normal stress effects; the fluid constituent is modeled as a viscous fluid. We look at the flow between two flat plates.
