Determination of the Effective Viscosity of Non-newtonian Fluids Flowing Through Porous Media
When non-Newtonian fluids flow through porous media, the topology of the pore space leads to a broad range of flow velocities and shear rates. Consequently, the local viscosity of the fluid also varies in space with a non-linear dependence on the Darcy ...

Physical mechanisms for droplet size and effective viscosity asymmetries in turbulent emulsions [PDF]
By varying the oil volume fraction, the microscopic droplet size and the macroscopic rheology of emulsions are investigated in a Taylor–Couette turbulent shear flow.

Bridging the connection between effective viscosity and electrical conductivity through water content in the upper mantle. [PDF]
Upper mantle viscosity plays a key role in understanding plate tectonics and is usually extrapolated from laboratory-based creep measurements of upper mantle conditions or constrained by modeling geodetic and post-seismic observations.

On the correction to Einstein’s formula for the effective viscosity [PDF]
This paper is a follow-up of article [6], on the derivation of accurate effective models for viscous dilute suspensions. The goal is to identify an effective Stokes equation providing a $o(\lambda^2)$ approximation of the exact fluid-particle system ...

Deformations of the colder regions of the lithosphere mainly occur in the frictional regime. In geodynamic models, frictional plastic deformations are often highly localized (shear bands) and are used as proxies for faults.

Convective turbulent viscosity acting on equilibrium tidal flows: new frequency scaling of the effective viscosity [PDF]
Turbulent convection is thought to act as an effective viscosity (νE) in damping tidal flows in stars and giant planets. However, the efficiency of this mechanism has long been debated, particularly in the regime of fast tides, when the tidal frequency

Mild assumptions for the derivation of Einstein’s effective viscosity formula [PDF]
We provide a rigorous derivation of Einstein’s formula for the effective viscosity of dilute suspensions of n rigid balls, set in a volume of size 1. So far, most justifications were carried under a strong assumption on the minimal distance between the ...

Effective viscosity of random suspensions without uniform separation [PDF]
This work is devoted to the definition and the analysis of the effective viscosity associated with a random suspension of small rigid particles in a steady Stokes fluid. While previous works on the topic have been conveniently assuming that particles are

A Local Version of Einstein's Formula for the Effective Viscosity of Suspensions [PDF]
We prove a local variant of Einstein's formula for the effective viscosity of dilute suspensions, that is $\mu^\prime=\mu (1+\frac 5 2\phi+o(\phi))$, where $\phi$ is the volume fraction of the suspended particles.

Einstein’s viscosity formula is sometimes strongly limited for viscosity estimation of suspensions; that is, it is only applicable for low-concentration suspensions in which hydrodynamic interactions are sufficiently negligible.
