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

On the shear-thinning of alkanes
Tribology Letters, 2023 Abstract The approximate power-law dependence ofthe apparent viscosity of liquids on shear rate is of-ten argued to arise from a distribution of energy barri-ers. However, recent work on the Prandtl model, whichconsists of a point mass being dragged by a damped,harmonic spring past a sinusoidal potential, revealed asimilar dependence of the ...

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.

Physics of Rheologically-Enhanced Propulsion: Different Strokes in Generalized Stokes [PDF]
, 2013 Shear-thinning is an important rheological property of many biological fluids, such as mucus, whereby the apparent viscosity of the fluid decreases with shear.

Critical Shear Rate of Polymer-Enhanced Hydraulic Fluids
Lubricants, 2020 Many application-relevant fluids exhibit shear thinning, where viscosity decreases with shear rate above some critical shear rate. For hydraulic fluids formulated with polymeric additives, the critical shear rate is a function of the molecular weight and

Modelling of Power-Law Fluid Flow Inside a Piezoelectric Inkjet Printhead
Sensors, 2021 Piezoelectric three-dimensional inkjet printing has been used to manufacture heterogeneous objects due to its high level of flexibility. The materials used are non-Newtonian inks with complex rheological properties, and their behavior in the context of ...

Liquid–Liquid Flows with Non-Newtonian Dispersed Phase in a T-Junction Microchannel
Micromachines, 2021 Immiscible liquid–liquid flows in microchannels are used extensively in various chemical and biological lab-on-a-chip systems when it is very important to predict the expected flow pattern for a variety of fluids and channel geometries.
