Bulk Viscosity of Dilute Gases and Their Mixtures

In this work, we use the Green–Kubo method to study the bulk viscosity of various dilute gases and their mixtures. First, we study the effects of the atomic mass on the bulk viscosity of dilute diatomic gas by estimating the bulk viscosity of four different isotopes of nitrogen gas. We then study th...

Description
Summary:In this work, we use the Green–Kubo method to study the bulk viscosity of various dilute gases and their mixtures. First, we study the effects of the atomic mass on the bulk viscosity of dilute diatomic gas by estimating the bulk viscosity of four different isotopes of nitrogen gas. We then study the effects of addition of noble gas on the bulk viscosity of dilute nitrogen gas. We consider mixtures of nitrogen with three noble gases, viz., neon, argon, and krypton at eight different compositions between pure nitrogen to pure noble gas. It is followed by an estimation of bulk viscosity of pure oxygen and mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen for various compositions. In this case, three different composition are considered, viz., 25% N2 + 75% O2, 50% N2 + 50% O2, and 78% N2 + 22% O2. The last composition is aimed to represent the dry air. A brief review of works that study the effects of incorporation of bulk viscosity in analysis of various flow situations has also been provided.
