1 Tutorial 8. Non-Newtonian Transitional Flow in an Eccentric Annulus Introduction The purpose of this tutorial is to illustrate the setup and solution of a 3D, turbulent flow of a non-newtonian fluid. Turbulent non-newtonian flows are often encountered in the oil and gas industry. These fluids are used in the drilling of oil wells to transport the cuttings to the surface, and to keep solids in suspension during stationary periods. In directional drilling, where an eccentric annulus is often used, there is a tendency for the cuttings to accumulate in the narrowest gap where the velocity is lowest. Since turbulence tends to suppress such accumulation, knowledge of the velocity profiles in the annulus are essential in the design and operation of these drills. In this tutorial, you will learn how to: Read an existing mesh file in FLUENT. Check the grid for dimensions and quality. Set up the material for non-newtonian viscosity and switch to turbulence formulation for the same using text user interface (TUI) commands. Solve a time dependent simulation. Set up periodic flow conditions in FLUENT. Set up transitional flow conditions using k ω turbulence model. Create isosurfaces and isoclips for postprocessing. Examine the results and compare them with experimental data. Prerequisites This tutorial assumes that you have little experience with FLUENT but are familiar with the interface. c Fluent Inc.

2 Problem Description A periodic section of the eccentric annulus arrangement is considered (Figure 8.1). The inner and outer cylinders diameters are 20 mm and 40.3 mm respectively. The inner cylinder is rotating with speed of 300 rpm whereas the outer one is stationary. The viscosity is governed by the Power law as: µ = K γ (n 1) where, n = power law index = 0.75 K = consistency index = γ = local shear rate The flow is considered to be in transitional regime with Re = Figure 8.1: Problem Schematic 8-2 c Fluent Inc.

3 Preparation 1. Copy the following files to your working directory: annulus.msh non-dimensional.scm axial-p1.xy axial-p2.xy axial-p3.xy tangential-p1.xy tangential-p2.xy tangential-p3.xy 2. Start the 3D double precision solver of FLUENT. Setup and Solution Step 1: Grid 1. Read the mesh file, annulus.msh. File Read Case... FLUENT will read the mesh file and report the progress in the console window. 2. Check the grid. Grid Check This procedure checks the integrity of the mesh. Make sure the reported minimum volume is a positive number. 3. Check the scale of the grid. Grid Scale... Check the domain extents to see if they correspond to the actual physical dimensions. If not, the grid has to be scaled with proper units. In this case, the outer diameter should be 40.3 mm, therefore scale the grid in mm. c Fluent Inc. August 18,
4 (a) Select mm in the Grid Was Created In drop-down list. (b) Click Scale and close the panel. 4. Display the grid (Figures 8.2). Display Grid... The color for each periodic boundary is Cyan and for each wall it is White. FLUENT will automatically color each boundary based on its type. 8-4 c Fluent Inc. August 18, 2005
5 5. Remove the Hidden lines. Display Options... (a) Enable Hidden Line Removal and click Apply. Figure 8.2: Grid Display To capture the sharp gradients near the walls correctly, the grid adjacent to the walls is made finer compared to the central region. In addition, as the problem is turbulent it is essential to meet the correct Y+ conditions as per the wall treatment to be used. c Fluent Inc. August 18,
6 Step 2: Models The flow has Reynolds number of 9000, and it needs to be modeled as turbulent. The k ω model can be used for such low Reynolds number, turbulent, or transitional flows. R e = ρ U b d h µ (8.1) In this case, the mass flow rate = kg/s. Therefore, the bulk velocity can be calculated as: Bulkvelocity = Massflow = Density Area Where, ρ = density of the fluid = 1000 kg/m3 U b = bulk velocity = 2.72 m/s d h = hydraulic diameter (Do-Din) = µ = viscosity at the wall = (measured experimentally [1]) 1. Enable viscous model. Define Models Viscous... (a) Under Model, select k-omega (2 eqn). (b) Under k-omega Options, enable Transitional Flows. (c) Click OK. 8-6 c Fluent Inc. August 18, 2005
7 Step 3: Materials 1. Change the material properties. Define Materials... (a) There is no model that can be used for viscosity as we need non-newtonian power law. To enable the model, issue the text user interface command as: define/models/viscous/turbulence-expert/turb-non-newtonian Enable turbulence for non-newtonian fluids? [no] yes c Fluent Inc. August 18,
8 (b) In the materials panel, select non-newtonian-power-law in the Viscosity dropdown list. This opens Non-Newtonian Power Law panel. i. Specify the following parameters: ii. Click OK. (c) Set Density to Parameter Value Consistency Index Power-Law Index 0.75 Reference Temperature 0 Minimum Viscosity Limit Maximum Viscosity Limit 1000 (d) Specify Name as cmc and click Change/Create. (e) Click NO when FLUENT asks Change/Create mixture and overwrite air? (f) Close the materials panel. FLUENT automatically enables the energy equation as non-newtonian power law formulation is being used. You can disable it from the solution afterwards. 8-8 c Fluent Inc. August 18, 2005

(d) Click OK to accept the settings and close the panel. Step 7: Solution 1. Set the solution controls. Solve Controls Solution... (a) Under Equations, deselect Energy. The viscosity is function of shear stress (does not depend on the temperature). Therefore, there is no need to solve the energy equation. (b) Retain other settings and click OK. 2. Initialize the flow. Solve Initialize Initialize c Fluent Inc. August 18, 2005
