An Investigation of Stokes’ Second Problem for Non-newtonian Fluids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stokes flow produced by an oscillatory motion of a wall is analyzed in the presence of a nonNewtonian fluid. A total of eight non-Newtonian models are considered. A mass balance approach is introduced to solve the governing equations. The velocity and temperature profiles for these models are obtained and compared to those of Newtonian fluids. For the power law model, correlations for the velocity distribution and the time required to reach the steady periodic flow are developed and discussed. Furthermore, the effects of the dimensionless parameters on the flow are studied. For the temperature distribution, an analytical solution for Newtonian fluid is developed as a comparative source. To simulate the rheological behavior of blood at unsteady state, three non-Newtonian constitutive relationships are used to study the wall shear stress. It is found that in the case of unsteady stokes flow, although the patterns of velocity and wall shear stress is consistent across all models, the magnitude is affected by the model utilized.

Hidden Invariances in Problems of Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Wall Jets for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
This work is devoted to the investigation of self-similar solutions for steady wall jets. The problem is considered in the context of twoand three-dimensional Prandtl boundary layer equations, and three-dimensional parabolized Navier–Stokes equations for Newtonian and nonNewtonian fluids. In contrast to dimensional analysis, which does not allow the determination of self-similar solutions in th...
