Title: Residual stress at fluid interfaces

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6618687

We extend the Navier-Stokes equations to allow for residual stress in Newtonian fluids. A fluid, which undergoes a constrained volume change, will have residual stress. Corresponding to every constrained volume change is an eigenstrain. We present a method to include in the equations of fluid motion the eigenstrain that is a result of the presence in a fluid of a soluble chemical species. This method is used to calculate the residual stress associated with a chemical transformation. 9 refs., 1 fig.
