Introduction
As well as measuring the viscosity of a liquid, viscometers measuring very low viscosities (usually viscosity. Figure 4 shows the effect on the flow curve. The concentric cylinder is particularly subject to this problem, being the most frequently. Viscosity 112.7 to 47.4 m Pa. S even in the high rate of oil mix ing 3:1 - engine oil to vegetable oil. Therefore we conclude that the vegetable oil is n ot capable to use in the r ange of engine oil.

A thin plate of surface area 0.01 m 2 is moved parallel to the length of the plate such that the plate is at a distance of 2 m from one of the plates and 4 c m from the. As you have already guessed fresh water at 4°C (39° F) has been assigned a value of one (1). It is important that you do not confuse specific gravity with viscosity which is a measurement of a fluids resistance to pouring, though there is often what is perceived to be an obvious relationship.
In this tutorial we will show the code of a complete Navier-Stokes solver, which we always advise to use as a starting point when doing any flow simulation. You can later modify this code according to your needs. This QuickerSim CFD Toolbox for MATLAB® solver is incompressible, laminar, fluid flow governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, i.e.:

Alternatively you can solve a Stokes problem defined by

supposed that you will use assembleStokeMatrix2D function in place of assembleNavierStokesMatrix2D function.You have to apply proper boundary conditions to above systems that will guarantee a unique solution to the stationary Stokes or Navier-Stokes problem.You can use an ‘inlet’ boundary condition for which you need to specify two velocity components (not necessarily perpendicular to the inlet), ‘wall’boundary condition, which sets both velocity components to zero or ‘slipAlongY’ boundary conditions which imply zero shear stress at the given boundary. If you do not apply explicitly any boundary condition, the toolbox will assume this boundary to be open boundary (i.e. outflow) where the following boundary condition will be applied:
Geometry & Mesh Generation
Lite version of our toolbox imports meshes prepared with the open source Gmsh mesh generator. Go to [Gmsh download] and [geometry creation and meshing tutorial] .After geometry and mesh have been created, you should end up with the following geometry (note the ids of physical lines) and the mesh shown below. You can also refer to files cylinderGeometry.geo and cylinder.msh which are attached to this tutorial.

For a fluid flow simulation we always need to convert mesh to second order. nVnodes stands for number of velocity nodes in the mesh, nPnodes number of pressure nodes and indices is a Matlab structure which will help us to refer to solution fields (x-velocity, y-velocity and pressure), since all of them will be stored in one solution vector u. Indices will enable us easy access.
We define kinematic viscosity of the fluid. We never specify dynamic viscosity. The Toolbox solves only incompressible flows, assuming constant density, which is nowhere introduced to equations. In other words density always equals 1. If you simulate e.g. water flow with real density of 1000 kg/m3, your computed pressure field will be actually real pressure field divided by fluid density. So, if you want to obtain real static pressure in Pascals, you would need to multiply computed values of pressure by 1000.
Now, define some initial approximation to the solution and define convergence criteria, i.e. maximum number of iterations to solve for the nonlinearity in convection term and maximum residual value. These are absolute residuals. We set initial velocity field to [1 0] everywhere and initial pressure field to 0 everywhere. convergence is an additional array which wonderfully helps plotting convergence plots and checking for breaking the iteration loop.
