Non-Newtonian fluid–structure interactions: Static response of a microchannel due to internal flow of a power-law fluid [PDF]
Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2018 We study fluid–structure interactions (FSIs) in a long and shallow microchannel, conveying a non-Newtonian fluid, at steady state. The microchannel has a linearly elastic and compliant top wall, while its three other walls are rigid.
