Homogenized Non-Newtonian Viscoelastic Rheology of a Suspension of Interacting Particles in a Viscous Newtonian Fluid
Our study is motivated by an attempt to develop a rigorous mathematical model of a suspension highly filled with a large number of small solid particles, which interact due to surface forces. We use asymptotic analysis in the small parameter , and consider irregular (nonperiodic) geometries for which the sizes of particles and the distances between them are of order . We present conditions unde...
متن کاملNon-Newtonian Rheology in Blood Circulation
Blood is a complex suspension that demonstrates several non-Newtonian rheological characteristics such as deformation-rate dependency, viscoelasticity and yield stress. In this paper we outline some issues related to the non-Newtonian effects in blood circulation system and present modeling approaches based mostly on the past work in this field.
متن کاملInfluence of non-Newtonian rheology on magma degassing
Many volcanoes exhibit temporal changes in their degassing process, from rapid gas puffing to lava fountaining and long-lasting quiescent passive degassing periods. This range of behaviors has been explained in terms of changes in gas flux and/or magma input rate. We report here a simple laboratory experiment which shows that the nonNewtonian rheology of magma can be responsible, alone, for suc...
متن کاملThermal convection with non-Newtonian plates
The coupling between plate motions and mantle convection is investigated using a fully dynamic numerical model consisting of a thin non-Newtonian layer which is dynamically coupled to a thick Newtonian viscous layer. The non-Newtonian layer has a simple power-law rheology characterized by power-law index n and stiffness constant pp. A systematic investigation of steady, single cell configuratio...
متن کاملThe Earth's Mantle: Evidence of Non-Newtonian Flow.
Recent information from experimentally deformed dunite coupled with a reanalysis of data on the Fennoscandian postglacial rebound suggest that the rheological behavior of the upper mantle is distinctly non-Newtonian, and that the shear strain rate is proportional to the shear stress raised to about the third power.
