| contents | We present an experimental and numerical study of linear and non-linear viscous effects in transient non-linear long wave propagation in Newtonian and shear thinning fluids in the laminar flow regime. Using optical measuring techniques (Fourier Transform Profilometry) and numerical simulations (open-source CFD library OpenFOAM), we show that the wave phase speed decreases in both glycerin and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) solutions with respect to that in water. A decrease in wave phase speed is observed, and a dispersion relation is obtained for surface waves through dimensional analysis from five dimensionless groups: the dimensionless wave celerity, the shallowness parameter, dimensionless amplitude, Reynolds number and the flow index. To complete the picture on wave propagation, an empirical dependence between the wave attenuation and the last four dimensionless groups mentioned above is found for non-linear long surface waves. We conclude quantitatively about all the viscosity effects in non-linear long wave propagation. |
