The aim of this paper is to introduce a new three-dimensional elastoviscoplastic model that combines both the Oldroyd viscoelastic model and the Herschel-Bulkley viscoplastic model with a power-law index n > 0. The present model is derived to satisfy the second law of thermodynamics. Various fluids of practical interest, such as liquid foams, droplet emulsions or blood, present such elastovisco...

We performed passive and active microrheology using probe particles in a bath of well-characterized, model hard-sphere colloids in the fluid state over the whole range of volume fractions below the glass transition. The probe and bath particles have nearly the same size. Passive tracking of probe particles yields short-time self-diffusion coefficients. Comparison with literature data demonstrat...

Acoustic stimulation is a promising method for increasing drainage of non-Newtonian fluids through porous structures in various applications. In this study, a mathematical model is developed for unsteady flow of a bi-viscous incompressible fluid in a circular straight channel. Longitudinal vibrations are superimposed on the flow driven by changing pressure gradients along the channel. Simulatio...

Structural changes of complex fluids under steady shear flow were investigated for different type of materials, such as suspensions, associating polymers and polymer solutions [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Under specific conditions, depending on the material, a shear-thickening regime is observed followed by shear-thinning behaviour [3, 4, 6]. Shear-thickening is often the result of shear-induced formati...

INTRODUCTION Non-maturation and post-maturation venous stenosis are the primary causes of failure within arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs). Although the exact mechanisms triggering failure remain unclear, abnormal hemodynamic profiles are thought to mediate vascular remodelling and can adversely impact on fistula patency. AIM The review aims to clarify the role of shear stress on outward remodell...

This study looks into the steady heat transfer issue of a flow an incompressible Carreau fluid. fluid exhibits shear thinning and thickening characteristics at low, moderate, high rates. At tubule wall, absorption is used as function pressure gradient wall permeability through wall. Supposing radius considerably small in comparison to its length, governing equations are simplified.
