Abstract :

[en] The effects of viscoelasticity, here caused by polymer additives, on Rayleigh Bénard convection flows are investigated via direct numerical simulations at a marginally turbulent Rayleigh number. Simulations with a range of polymer length and relaxation time scales show heat transfer enhancement (HTE) and reduction (HTR). The selection of HTE and HTR depends strongly on the maximum extensional viscosity of the solution, whereas the magnitude of heat transfer modification is a function of both the maximum extensional viscosity and relaxation time of the polymer solution. The underlying physics of HTE and HTR are explored, and a mechanism of the interaction between convection cells and polymers is proposed. The findings are extrapolated to high Ra to shed some new light onto experimental observations of HTR.
