In this work, non-Newtonian effects on Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) transport across an artery are analyzed with a multi-layer model. Four rheological models (Carreau, Carreau-Yasuda, power-law and Newtonian) are used for the blood flow through the lumen. For the non-Newtonian cases, the arterial wall is modeled with a generalized momentum equation. Convection-diffusion equation is used for th...

An experimental investigation of the wall shear stress distribution downstream of a backward-facing step is carried out. The wall shear stress distribution was determined by measuring the deformation of a gel layer, attached to the wall downstream of the step. Speckle pattern interferometry was applied to measure the deformation of the gel layer. The measured deformation, combined with the prop...

We study the propagation of a plane-strain hydraulic fracture driven by shear thinning fluid following Carreau rheology. restrict to impermeable medium case and quantify in details impact on growth shear-thinning properties between low high shear-rates Newtonian limits. derive several dimensionless numbers governing evolution solution. The notably depends ratio two limiting viscosities, index, ...

Marangoni convection is very useful in coating flow technology, surfactant replacement therapy for neonatal children, microfluidics, drying of semi-conductor vapors microelectronics, foams, and film drainage emulsions. The behavior gyrotactic microorganisms chemical reaction on the convected Carreau-Yasuda liquid flowing over Riga plate with thermophoretic particle deposition reported this rese...

Correlations for the Nusselt number fully-developed laminar flow of Carreau fluids through circular pipe subject to a uniform heat flux have been sought. Based on mathematical expression, could be obtained by numerical integration. To evaluate many conditions, an efficient integration method has proposed. Using different material constants and improved correlation The proposed reduce maximum er...
