Authors Dimakopoulos Y., Tsamopoulos J. Abstract We study the transient displacement of Newtonian and viscoplastic liquids by highly pressurized air in cylindrical tubes of finite length with an expansion followed by a contraction in their cross section. Papanastasiou’s formula is employed to regularize the discontinuous Bingham model. For both fluid […]

Authors Dimakopoulos Y., Tsamopoulos J. Abstract The displacement of viscous liquids by pressurized gas from harmonically undulated tubes of finite length is examined. This unsteady process gives rise to a long open bubble of varying radius, increasing length and surrounded by the liquid. In general, the thickness of the liquid […]
Authors Dimakopoulos Y., Tsamopoulos J. Abstract We have developed a quasi-elliptic set of equations for generating a discretization mesh that optimally conforms to an entire domain that undergoes large deformations in primarily one direction. We have applied this method to the axisymmetric problem of the transient displacement of a viscous […]
