Experimental study on motion of bubbles in non-Newtonian fluids under pressure oscillating field

Rapid mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a three-dimensional micro-mixer using non-uniform magnetic field

The mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a magnetic micro-mixer was studied numerically using  ferrofluid. The mixing process was performed in a three-dimensional steady-state micro-mixer. A magnetic source was mounted at the entrance of the micro-channel to oscillate the magnetic particles. The effects of electric current, inlet velocity, size of magnetic particles, and non-Newtonia...

Time-periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels

The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...

Controllability of Non-Newtonian Fluids under Homogeneous Extensional Flow

In the discipline of non-Newtonian materials, the ability to control viscoelastic stresses is very desirable in ascertaining important properties of the influenced materials. We apply the nonlinear geometric control theory to examine the controllability of various popular constitutive models with imposed homogeneous extensional flow. The subsequent constitutive laws considered here include the ...

simulation of particle motion in non-newtonian fluids by immersed boundary lattice boltzmann method

in the current study, the immersed boundary – non-newtonian lattice boltzmann method is developed for simulation of forces act on a particle and also for computation of the particle velocity in vicinity of non-newtonian fluids. in this research, the effect of extra force due to accelerated mass is also considered in non-newtonian particle motion equations. two applied problems of power-law non-...
