Hydrodynamic stress distribution in irregular channels mirrors Laplacian field flux distribution. This similarity holds for low Reynolds number flows, but fractal roughness details dominate at high Reynolds numbers.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Computational physics

Background:

  • Understanding fluid flow in complex geometries is crucial for various engineering applications.
  • Laplacian fields are fundamental in describing potential flow and diffusion phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between hydrodynamic stress and Laplacian field flux in irregular channels.
  • To explore the influence of Reynolds number and wall roughness on flow behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations at low and high Reynolds numbers.
  • Analysis of flow in two-dimensional channels with deterministic and random self-similar rough walls.

Main Results:

  • A surprising similarity was observed between hydrodynamic stress distribution and Laplacian field flux distribution at low Reynolds numbers.

  • At high Reynolds numbers, wall stress distribution became highly dependent on microscopic details of fractal roughness.
  • Channel symmetry and aspect ratio were found to affect flow behavior.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study reveals a fundamental connection between fluid stress and potential fields in complex geometries.
    • Flow behavior in rough channels is scale-dependent, with microscopic details becoming significant at higher Reynolds numbers.
