The shear-driven Rayleigh problem for generalised Newtonian fluids [PDF]
, 2014 We consider a variant of the classical ‘Rayleigh problem’ (‘Stokes’s first problem’) in which a semi-infinite region of initially quiescent fluid is mobilised by a shear stress applied suddenly to its boundary. We show that self-similar solutions for the

A note on a swirling squirmer in a shear-thinning fluid
, 2020 Micro-organisms and artificial microswimmers often move in biological fluids displaying complex rheological behaviors, including viscoelasticity and shear-thinning viscosity.

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.

Rayleigh–Bénard Instability of an Ellis Fluid Saturated Porous Channel with an Isoflux Boundary
Fluids, 2021 The onset of the thermal instability is investigated in a porous channel with plane parallel boundaries saturated by a non–Newtonian shear–thinning fluid and subject to a horizontal throughflow.

Dramatic effect of fluid chemistry on cornstarch suspensions: linking particle interactions to macroscopic rheology [PDF]
, 2017 Suspensions of cornstarch in water exhibit strong dynamic shear-thickening. We show that partly replacing water by ethanol strongly alters the suspension rheology.

Linear stability of shear-thinning fluid down an inclined plane
Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2019 The stability of shear-thinning fluid down an inclined plane is investigated theoretically with application to process engineering (coating process) and natural hazards as well (debris flow impact).
