| Abstract |
We investigate the two-dimensional flows of a viscoplastic fluid in symmetric channels with impermeable walls under no-slip boundary conditions. To characterise the mechanical response of the viscoplastic fluid we consider both the celebrated Bingham model and a very general class of its regularisations. In order to make the problem amenable to analysis, we assume that the aspect ratio of the channel is small so that the lubrication approximation can be used. This allows us to obtain analytical solutions, perform an asymptotic analysis of the regularised solutions and compare the results predicted by the Bingham model and its regularisations. We find that in the limit as the regularisation parameter tends to zero, the regularised flow tends to those predicted by the Bingham model only in plane channels. In channels with curved walls, the results are instead markedly different. |
