Summary
The flow field of a linear viscoelastic fluid in the balance rheometer, taking fluid inertia into account, has been studied theoretically and an exact solution is given. The flow field of a Newtonian fluid is included in this solution as a special case. The forces and couples on the hemispheres are readily deduced from this solution.
Zusammenfassung
Das Strömungsfeld einer linear-viskoelastischen Flüssigkeit im Képès-Rheometer wird unter Berücksichtigung der Flüssigkeitsträgheit theoretisch untersucht und eine exakte Lösung angegeben. Das Strömungsfeld einer newtonschen Flüssigkeit ergibt sich als ein Sonderfall dieser Lösung. Die auf die Halbkugeln ausgeübten Kräfte und Drehmomente lassen sich in einfacher Weise aus der Lösung ableiten.
