Flagellum pumping efficiency in shear-thinning viscoelastic fluids
Journal of Fluid MechanicsMicroorganism motility often takes place within complex, viscoelastic fluid environments, e.g. sperm in cervicovaginal mucus and bacteria in biofilms. In such complex fluids, strains and stresses generated by the microorganism are stored and relax across a spectrum of length and time scales and the complex fluid can be driven out of its linear response

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.

Heat Transfer and Entropy Generation in Vibrational Flow: Newtonian vs. Inelastic Non-Newtonian Fluid [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid MechanicsA computational method is employed to solve heat transfer and entropy generation within a circular pipe. The thermal boundary condition assumes a constant wall temperature, while viscosity is taken to be dependent on temperature.

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

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 ...

Instability and morphology of polymer solutions coating a fiber
, 2012 We report an experimental study on the dynamics of a thin film of polymer solution coating a vertical fiber. The liquid film has first a constant thickness and then undergoes the Rayleigh-Plateau instability which leads to the formation of sequences of ...

Role of B2O3 on structure and shear-thinning property in CaO–SiO2–Na2O-based mold fluxes
High Temperature Materials and Processes, 2019 Most traditional mold fluxes are Newtonian fluids, and their constant viscosity has certain limitations in continuous casting. A new non-Newtonian fluid mold flux with shear-thinning behavior, i.e., a mold flux with a relatively high viscosity at lower ...

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
