Turbulent pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids
Direct numerical simulation of the weakly turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is undertaken for two different generalised Newtonian rheology models using a spectral element-Fourier method. Results for a power law (shear-thinning) rheology agree well with experimentally determined logarithmic layer correlations and with other previously published experimental work. As the flow index becomes s...
متن کاملGravity-Driven Flow of a Shear-Thinning Power– Law Fluid over a Permeable Plane
The flow of a thin layer of power-law fluid on a porous inclined plane is considered. The unsteady equations of motion are depth-integrated according to the von Karman momentum integral method. The variation of the velocity distribution with the depth is accounted for, and it is furthermore assumed that the flow through the porous medium is governed by the modified Darcy’s law. The stability co...
متن کاملChannel flow of a tensorial shear-thinning Maxwell model: Lattice Boltzmann simulations.
We discuss pressure-driven channel flow for a model of shear-thinning glass-forming fluids, employing a modified lattice-Boltzmann (LB) simulation scheme. The model is motivated by a recent microscopic approach to the nonlinear rheology of colloidal suspensions and captures a nonvanishing dynamical yield stress and the appearance of normal-stress differences and a flow-induced pressure contribu...
متن کاملCapillarity driven spreading of circular drops of shear-thinning fluid
We investigate the spreading of thin, circular liquid drops of powerlaw rheology. We derive the equation of motion using the thin film approximation, construct source-type similarity solutions and compute the spreading rate, aparent contact angles and height profiles. In contrast with the spreading of newtonian liquids, the contact line paradox does not arise for shear thinning fluids. In this ...
متن کاملMixing Behaviors of Shear-Thinning Fluids in Serpentine-Channel Micromixers
This study aims to investigate the mixing behaviors of deionized (DI) water and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions in C-shaped serpentine micromixers over a wide range of flow conditions. The flow of CMC solutions exhibits shear-thinning behaviors. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effects of the mean flow speed, fluid properties and geometry parameters on flow and mix...
