Preliminary work has been completed to investigate the effect of particle-particle interaction forces on the flow properties of silica slurries. Classically Hydrotransport studies have focused on the flow of coarse granular material in Newtonian fluids. However, with current economical and environmental pressures, the need to increase solid loadings in pipe flow has lead to studies that examine...

the complete 3d nonlinear dynamic problem of extensible, flexible risers conveying fluid is considered. for describing the dynamics of the system, the newtonian derivation procedure is followed. the velocity field inside the pipe formulated using hydrostatic and bernoulli equations. the hydrodynamic effects of external fluids are taken into consideration through the nonlinear drag forces in var...

BACKGROUND It is a known fact that blood flow pattern and more specifically the pulsatile time variation of shear stress on the vascular wall play a key role in atherogenesis. The paper presents the conception, the building and the control of a new in vitro test bench that mimics the pulsatile flows behavior based on in vivo measurements. METHODS An in vitro cardiovascular simulator is alimen...

Hemodynamic stresses are involved in the development and progression of vascular diseases. This study investigates the influence of mechanical factors on the hemodynamics of the curved coronary artery in an attempt to identify critical factors of non-Newtonian models. Multiphase non-Newtonian fluid simulations of pulsatile flow were performed and compared with the standard Newtonian fluid model...

The predilection of atherosclerotic lesions for specific sites in the arterial tree is believed to be related t o the wall shear stress, exerted by the blood flow. Measurement of the magnitude of the wall shear stress is difficult and is frequently determined by an extrapolation of the velocity field t o find the wall shear rate and an estimation of the viscosity of the fluid in the neighborhoo...

This study looks at blood flow through four different right coronary arteries, which have been reconstructed from bi-plane angiograms. Five non-Newtonian blood models, as well as the usual Newtonian model of blood viscosity, are used to study the wall shear stress in each of these arteries at a particular point in the cardiac cycle. It was found that in the case of steady flow in a given artery...

The current article has investigated unsteady convective flow for MHD non-Newtonian Powell-Eyring fluid embedded porous medium over inclined permeable stretching sheet. We have pondered the thermophoresis parameter, chemical reaction, variable thermal conductivity, Brownian motion, variable heat source and variable thermal radiation in temperature and concentration profiles. Using similar trans...

This article is proposed to address the melting heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid in Blasius and Sakiadis flow caused due to a moving surface. Thermal radiation and a constant free stream are considered in this mathematical model. The non-linear coupled dimensionless equations from the governing equations are attained by employing appropriate similarity transformations. The resulting dimensionle...

the purpose of this research is to numerically investigate the interaction of pulsatile flow of blood with an axisymmetric artery in various percentages of stenosis. the carreau non-newtonian model and the generalized maxwell rheological model were used to model the blood fluid and the viscoelastic wall of arterial, respectively. the innovation of the present research is modeling of viscoelasti...
