Abstract

The problems of oscillatory flow of a viscoelastic incompressible fluid in a plane channel are solved for a given harmonic oscillation of the fluid flow rate. The transfer function (amplitude–phase frequency response) is determined. Using this function, the effect of the acceleration oscillation frequency and the relaxation properties of fluid on the ratio of the tangential shear stress on channel wall to the velocity averaged over the channel cross-section (cross-sectional velocity) is determined. It is shown that the viscoelastic properties of fluid, as well as its acceleration, are the limiting factors for using the quasi-stationary approach. The found formulas for determining the transfer function for viscoelastic fluid flow in the case of non-stationary stream make it possible to determine the dissipations of mechanical energy in a non-stationary flow of the medium which are of importance for calculation of the control of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
