Lattice Boltzmann Models for Complex Fluids
, 1993 We present various Lattice Boltzmann Models which reproduce the effects of rough walls, shear thinning and granular flow. We examine the boundary layers generated by the roughness of the walls.

Shear Thinning and Local Melting of Colloidal Crystals [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2011 Phenomena such as shear thinning and thickening, occurring when complex materials are exposed to external forces, are generally believed to be closely connected to changes in the microstructure. Here, we establish a direct and quantitative relation between shear thinning in a colloidal crystal and the surface area of the locally melted region by ...

Flow and hydrodynamic shear stress inside a printing needle during biofabrication.
PLoS ONE, 2020 We present a simple but accurate algorithm to calculate the flow and shear rate profile of shear thinning fluids, as typically used in biofabrication applications, with an arbitrary viscosity-shear rate relationship in a cylindrical nozzle.

Undulatory swimming in shear-thinning fluids: Experiments with C. elegans [PDF]
, 2014 The swimming behaviour of microorganisms can be strongly influenced by the rheology of their fluid environment. In this manuscript, we experimentally investigate the effects of shear-thinning viscosity on the swimming behaviour of an undulatory swimmer ...

Phase-field simulations of viscous fingering in shear-thinning fluids
, 2009 A phase-field model for the Hele-Shaw flow of non-Newtonian fluids is developed. It extends a previous model for Newtonian fluids to a wide range of shear-dependent fluids.

Universal mechanism of shear thinning in supercooled liquids
Communications PhysicsSoft glassy materials experience a significant reduction in viscosity η when subjected to shear flow, known as shear thinning. This phenomenon is characterized by a power-law scaling of η with the shear rate $$\dot{\gamma }$$ γ ° , $$\eta \propto {\dot ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a reversible temperature sensor with high switching ratio, ∼103. The device is fabricated using PET‐ITO and carbon nanotube dispersions in alkane. Considering its application in cold chain logistics, a proof‐of‐concept with LED is showcased. Thus, a temperature drop below the threshold temperature (crystallization temperature of the

Piv study of mixing characteristics in a stirred vessel with a non-Newtonian fluid [PDF]
, 2012 PIV is used to analyze the flow induced by a Rushton turbine in a shear-thinning fluid, at constant input power, constant impeller velocity but different concentrations. The rheology of each shear-thinning fluid is first addressed.

Rheology of Emulsions Thickened by Starch Nanoparticles
Nanomaterials, 2022 The rheology of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions thickened by starch nanoparticles is investigated here. The starch nanoparticle concentration is varied from 0 to 25 wt% based on the matrix aqueous phase. The oil concentration is varied from 0 to 65 wt%.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
