Highly confined fluid or particle flows typically show strongly non-Newtonian behavior. In this study, the relation between the non-Newtonian behavior and the level of confinement is studied. Molecular dynamics simulations, in the canonical ensemble (i.e. the number of particles, volume and temperature are constant), are used to calculate various physical properties. Here we only present the de...

In this study, the steady incompressible flow of a non-Newtonian sodium alginate (SA) fluid conveying copper nanoparticles (Cu) which flow within two vertical parallel plates is investigated by using the homotopy perturbation analytical scheme to solve the coupled nonlinear ordinary equations arising from the mechanics of the fluid. The developed analytical solutions are used to investigate the...

in this study, effects of multi walled carbon nanotubes and temperature on rheological behavior of engine oil (10w40) have been examined. for this purpose, the experiments were carried out in the temperature range of 5-55°c for several suspensions with solid volume fractions of 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%. the viscosity of all samples was measured in the shear rate range of 666s-...

the combined effect of non-newtonian rheology and irreversible boundary reaction on dispersion in a herschel-bulkley fluid through a conduit (pipe/channel) is studied by using generalized dispersion model. the study explains the development of dispersive transport following the injection of a tracer in terms of three effective transport coefficients namely exchange, convective and dispersion co...

In this work, the fluid flow over a 2D backward-facing step is analyzed in order to provide a case study for the use of different models for the blood dynamic viscosity in COMSOL Multiphysics. Three non-Newtonian models, as well as the Newtonian model are used to study the shear stresses and the reattachment length as a function of the fluid speed. The nonNewtonian models used in this study are...

In this study, effects of numerous physical quantities like dissipation, thermal radiation, and induced magnetic field on magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow through a vertical plate is addressed. The non-dimensional multivariable governing equations are solved numerically by by means of Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The behavior of velocity, temperature and induced magnet...

as a native fermented dairy drink, doogh is an important industrial product in iran. however, its characteristics have not been completely evaluated. this study evaluated the flow behavior, particle size distribution and stability of non-fat doogh as affected by the row material employed (fresh skim milk or skim milk powder) and the total solids (ts) content of the final drink. the viscosity of...

The growth rate of fingers of a Newtonian fluid can be modeled by a power law dependence on time. In this experiment, we examine whether the model can be adapted to describe a fluid with changing viscosity. We provide two possible interpretations. For PVA and a PVA/glycerol solution, we show that by assuming a constant exponent, the changing behavior of the fluid can be captured by a coefficien...
