in the current study, the immersed boundary – non-newtonian lattice boltzmann method is developed for simulation of forces act on a particle and also for computation of the particle velocity in vicinity of non-newtonian fluids. in this research, the effect of extra force due to accelerated mass is also considered in non-newtonian particle motion equations. two applied problems of power-law non-...

A temporal stability analysis was carried out to model the atomization of a swirling viscous non-Newtonian annular liquid sheet emanating from an air-blast atomizer subject to inner and outer inviscid swirling air streams. The dimensionless dispersion equation that governs the instability of a viscous non-Newtonian annular liquid sheet under swirling air streams was obtained. Numerical solution...

Flow field and heat transfer of a nanofluid, whose non-Newtonian behavior has been demonstrated in the laboratory, in a square enclosure have been numerically modeled and investigated. To estimate the viscosity of nanofluid, experimental data of Hong and Kim, 2012 have been used, and a new model has been proposed. Finally, the obtained results have been compared to those of Newtonian behavior. ...

in this study, effects of multi walled carbon nanotubes and temperature on rheological behavior of engine oil (10w40) have been examined. for this purpose, the experiments were carried out in the temperature range of 5-55°c for several suspensions with solid volume fractions of 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%. the viscosity of all samples was measured in the shear rate range of 666s-...

the combined effect of non-newtonian rheology and irreversible boundary reaction on dispersion in a herschel-bulkley fluid through a conduit (pipe/channel) is studied by using generalized dispersion model. the study explains the development of dispersive transport following the injection of a tracer in terms of three effective transport coefficients namely exchange, convective and dispersion co...

Roll coating is distinguished by the use of one or more gaps between rotating cylinders to meter and apply a liquid layer to a substrate. Except at low speed, the two-dimensional film splitting flow that occurs in forward roll coating is unstable; a three-dimensional steady flow sets in, resulting in more or less regular stripes in the machine direction. For Newtonian liquids, the stability of ...

A general mathematical model that predicts the flow fields in a mixed-flow anaerobic digester was developed. In this model, the liquid manure was assumed to be a non-Newtonian fluid, and the flow governed by the continuity, momentum, and k-epsilon standard turbulence equations, and non-Newtonian power law model. The commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, Fluent, was applied to ...

A numerical study of hemodynamic parameters of pulsatile blood flow is presented in a stenotic artery with A numerical study of hemodynamic parameters of pulsatile blood flow is presented in a stenotic artery with non-Newtonian models using ADINA. Blood flow was considered laminar, and the arterial wall was considered rigid. Studied stenosis severities were 30, 50, and 70% of the cross-section...

Mixing is a common process in food industry, and in particular it is interesting to develop optimal mixers in order maximize fluid mixing and minimize energy consumption by reducing the viscous dissipation effects. Although many studies and results had been presented in literature for both batch and static mixers (Rauline et al. 2000 and Mutsakis et al. 1986 for a review) the lack of a develope...
