Swimming efficiency in a shear-thinning fluid [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2017 Micro-organisms expend energy moving through complex media. While propulsion speed is an important property of locomotion, efficiency is another factor that may determine the swimming gait adopted by a micro-organism in order to locomote in an energetically favorable manner.

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

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

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.

Mixing Performance of Inner Baffle in Shear Thinning Fluid [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 A mixing performance of an inner baffle was investigated in shear thinning fluid. The inner baffle was placed with a clearance between baffle and vessel wall. A traditional two-bladed paddle impeller was used.

Shear thinning of a critical viscoelastic fluid [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2005 The frequency and shear dependent critical viscosity at a correlation length $ξ=κ^{-1}$, has the form $η=η_{0}κ^{-x_η}G(z_{1},z_{2})$, where $z_{1}$ and $z_{2}$ are the independent dimensionless numbers in the problem defined as $z_{1}=\frac{-iω}{2Γ_{0}κ^{3}}$ and $z_{2}=\frac{-iω}{2Γ_{0}κ_{c}^{3}}$.

Flow of a Self-Similar Non-Newtonian Fluid Using Fractal Dimensions
Fractal and Fractional, 2022 In this paper, the study of the fully developed flow of a self-similar (fractal) power-law fluid is presented. The rheological way of behaving of the fluid is modeled utilizing the Ostwald–de Waele relationship (covering shear-thinning, Newtonian and ...

Sedimentation of Fractal Aggregates in Shear-Thinning Fluids [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 Solid–liquid separation is a key unit operation in the wastewater treatment, generally consisting of coagulation and flocculation steps to promote aggregation and increase the particle size, followed by sedimentation, where the particles settle due to the effect of gravity.
