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 ...

Particle settling in a shear-thinning, viscoelastic fluid in the presence of wall effects [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe settling of particles in fluids is a widespread phenomenon and commonly involves accounting for the effects of walls. Particle settling and wall effects are well understood for Newtonian fluids but the consequences of non-Newtonian fluid properties ...

The Rheology behavior of Aramid and Cellulose Nanowhisker Suspensions [PDF]
Journal of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 2022 The flow responses of aramid and cellulose nanowhisker (fibrids) or CNCs (cellulose nanocrystal) suspended in a sulfuric acid and water respect at loadings of about 17% weight fraction was determined in transient shear flow. The effect of temperature and

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

Shear-thinning and shear-thickening emulsions in shear flows [PDF]
Physics of Fluids, 2021 We study the rheology of a two-fluid emulsion in semiconcentrated conditions; the solute is Newtonian while the solvent is an inelastic power-law fluid. The problem at hand is tackled by means of direct numerical simulations using the volume of fluid method.

Analysis of the Shear-Thinning Viscosity Behavior of the Johnson–Segalman Viscoelastic Fluids
Fluids, 2022 This paper presents a numerical comparison of viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid flow using a generalized Oldroyd-B model and Johnson–Segalman model under various settings. Results for the standard shear-thinning generalization of Oldroyd-B model are used
