non-newtonian cfd modelling of a valve for mud pumps

CFD simulation of non-Newtonian fluid flow in anaerobic digesters.

A general mathematical model that predicts the flow fields in a mixed-flow anaerobic digester was developed. In this model, the liquid manure was assumed to be a non-Newtonian fluid, and the flow governed by the continuity, momentum, and k-epsilon standard turbulence equations, and non-Newtonian power law model. The commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, Fluent, was applied to ...

CFD Study of the Turbulent Forced Convective Heat Transfer of Non-Newtonian Nanofluid

Jeffery Hamel Flow of a non-Newtonian Fluid

This paper presents the Jeffery Hamel flow of a non-Newtonian fluid namely Casson fluid. Suitable similarity transform is applied to reduce governing nonlinear partial differential equations to a much simpler ordinary differential equation. Variation of Parameters Method (VPM) is then employed to solve resulting equation. Same problem is solved numerical by using Runge-Kutta order 4 method. A c...

Three dimensional CFD simulation of non-Newtonian flow for the underfill flow in flip chip packaging

In the present paper, a finite volume method (FVM) based software is used in the simulation of simulation of non Newtonian flow between two parallel plates and flip chip packaging are presented. 3D of two parallel plates with different gap heights are developed and simulated by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) code, FLUENT 6.3.26. The power law equation was used to describe the NonNewtonian be...

Heat Transfer of Liquid/ Solid Fluidized Beds for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids

The excellent performance of fluidized bed heat exchangers is due to the interaction between particles and heat transfer surface and to the mixing effects in the viscous sublayer. In this paper, the results of experimental investigations on heat transfer for a wide range of Newtonian and non-Newtonian (shear-thinning power law) fluids are presented. New design equations have been developed ...
