Mechanistic Investigation of Microdroplet Formation in High-Viscosity Shear-Thinning Hydrogel Bioinks [PDF]
GelsHigh-resolution biofabrication requires precise microscale deposition, yet drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet bioprinting is constrained by a narrow printable viscosity window.

Particle settling in a shear-thinning, viscoelastic fluid in the presence of wall effects [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe settling of particles in fluids is a widespread phenomenon and commonly involves accounting for the effects of walls. Particle settling and wall effects are well understood for Newtonian fluids but the consequences of non-Newtonian fluid properties ...

The Rheology behavior of Aramid and Cellulose Nanowhisker Suspensions [PDF]
Journal of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 2022 The flow responses of aramid and cellulose nanowhisker (fibrids) or CNCs (cellulose nanocrystal) suspended in a sulfuric acid and water respect at loadings of about 17% weight fraction was determined in transient shear flow. The effect of temperature and

Numerical simulations of blood cell flow in non-Newtonian fluid [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020 We investigated how non-Newtonian viscosity behavior affects the flow characteristics of blood cells. Our findings offer insight about how shear thinning affects the dispersion of liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin and red blood cells in blood. The lattice

Analysis of the Shear-Thinning Viscosity Behavior of the Johnson–Segalman Viscoelastic Fluids
Fluids, 2022 This paper presents a numerical comparison of viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid flow using a generalized Oldroyd-B model and Johnson–Segalman model under various settings. Results for the standard shear-thinning generalization of Oldroyd-B model are used

Effect of Shear-Thinning Property on the Energy Performance and Flow Field of an Axial Flow Pump
Energies, 2022 In the chemical and petroleum industry, the axial flow pump is widely used for the circulation pipeline system, and most of the transportation mediums are the shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids.

Interfacial Dynamics of Miscible Displacement of Shear-Thinning Fluid in a Vertical Channel
Fluids, 2023 The displacement of a shear-thinning fluid by a denser and less viscous Newtonian fluid in a vertical duct is investigated using experiments and numerical simulations. We study how shear-thinning and increased viscosity contrast between the fluids affect

Pulsatile flow of shear-dependent fluid in a stenosed artery [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2012 This paper aims to investigate the blood flow in a bell-shaped constricted rigid tube, modeled as stenosed artery. The flow is assumed to be axi-symmetric, laminar and of oscillatory type.
