Rivulet flow of generalized Newtonian fluids

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...

Reactive rimming flow of non-Newtonian fluids

Incompressible laminar flow - newtonian and non-newtonian fluids

The problems of incompressible flows dominate a large part of the fluid mechanics scene. For this reason, they are given special attention in this book and we devote two chapters to this subject. In the present chapter we deal with various steadystate and transient situations in which the flow is forced by appropriate pressure gradients and boundary forces. In the next chapter we shall consider...

Semi-implicit Euler Scheme for Generalized Newtonian Fluids

Rheological behavior of certain non–Newtonian fluids in engineering sciences is often modeled by power law ansatzes with p ≤ 2. So far, existing numerical analysis for local strong solutions study a fully implicit time discretization and find only restricted ranges of admissible p’s for corresponding error estimates [9]; different nonlinear stabilization strategies which allow a corresponding e...

Couette-Poiseuille Flow of Non-Newtonian Fluids in Concentric Annuli

Two types of laminar flows of non-Newtonian fluids in annuli with stationary outer cylinder are analysed from the viewpoint of existence of an exact analytical or almost exact analytical (quasisimilarity) solution relating volumetric flow rate and axial pressure gradient. The exact analytical solution is derived for the Vocadlo (RobertsonStiff) fluids when flow is caused simultaneously by the i...
