This paper deals with a mathematical modeling of flow stability Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in the gap between two concentric cylinders, one which rotates. A typical feature is formation vortex flow, so-called Taylor vortices. Vortex structures are affected by speed rotating cylinder physical properties fluids, i.e., viscosity density. Analogy terms assumed for magnetorheological fluids....

The article provides a new definition of rheological similarity and thus a new basis for the modeling of non-Newtonian fluids: Fluids, whose rheological functions =f( ) can be twist-free shifted in a log/log field to a common master curve are rheologically similar and can be mutually used as model fluids in model experiments. This thesis is theoretically explained and confirmed by evaluation o...

In this paper, we propose a new particle-based model for non-Newtonian fluid animation with heating effects. The new model has three contributions. The first contribution is a new particle dynamics method, which is more accurate in animating rotational non-Newtonian fluid motions than previous non-Newtonian fluid models in computer graphics. In addition, the particle dynamics method includes a ...

The growth rate of fingers of a Newtonian fluid can be modeled by a power law dependence on time. In this experiment, we examine whether the model can be adapted to describe a fluid with changing viscosity. We provide two possible interpretations. For PVA and a PVA/glycerol solution, we show that by assuming a constant exponent, the changing behavior of the fluid can be captured by a coefficien...

The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...
