Jeffery orbits in shear-thinning fluids [PDF]
Physics of Fluids, 2019 We investigate the dynamics of a prolate spheroid in a shear flow of a shear-thinning Carreau fluid. The motion of a prolate particle is developed analytically for asymptotically weak shear thinning and then integrated numerically. We find that shear-thinning rheology does not lift the degeneracy of Jeffery orbits observed in Newtonian fluids, but the ...

Acoustic Heating Produced in the Thermoviscous Flow of a Shear-Thinning Fluid
Archives of Acoustics, 2013 This study is devoted to the instantaneous acoustic heating of a shear-thinning fluid. Apparent viscosity of a shear-thinning fluid depends on the shear rate. That feature distinguishes it from a viscous Newtonian fluid.

Velocity contrasts enhancement for shear thinning solutions flowing in a rough fracture [PDF]
, 2007 Flow and transport are studied in transparent model fractures with rough complementary self-affine walls with a relative shear displacement $\vec{u}$. The aperture field is shown to display long range correlations perpendicular to $\vec{u}$: for flow in ...

Analysis of rheological behaviour of titanium feedstocks formulated with a water-soluble binder system for powder injection moulding [PDF]
, 2014 Binder selection and formulation are critical in powder injection moulding. Binders play a key role in controlling the rheological properties of a feedstock and influence whether the resulting feedstock can be successfully injection moulded, debound and ...

Thermal and concentration aspects in Carreau viscosity model via wedge
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2018 The current pagination reports both the heat and mass transfer aspects subject to two dimensional steady flow over a moving wedge for the Carreau viscosity model with infinite shear rate viscosity. The results are reported for the both shear thinning and

Nonlinear rheology of colloidal dispersions [PDF]
, 2010 Colloidal dispersions are commonly encountered in everyday life and represent an important class of complex fluid. Of particular significance for many commercial products and industrial processes is the ability to control and manipulate the macroscopic ...

Stress response and structural transitions in sheared gyroidal and lamellar amphiphilic mesophases: lattice-Boltzmann simulations [PDF]
, 2006 We report on the stress response of gyroidal and lamellar amphiphilic mesophases to steady shear simulated using a bottom-up lattice-Boltzmann model for amphiphilic fluids and sliding periodic (Lees-Edwards) boundary conditions.

Bubble formation in shear-thinning fluids: Laser image measurement and a novel correlation for detached volume [PDF]
Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly, 2017 A laser image system has been established to quantify the characteristics of growing bubbles in quiescent shear-thinning fluids. Bubble formation mechanism was investigated by comparing the evolutions of bubble instantaneous shape, volume and surface ...

Lattice Boltzmann simulations of a viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid
, 2015 We present a hybrid lattice Boltzmann algorithm for the simulation of flow glass-forming fluids, characterized by slow structural relaxation, at the level of the Navier-Stokes equation. The fluid is described in terms of a nonlinear integral constitutive
