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. ...

We introduce a stabilized finite element method for the 3D non-Newtonian Navier–Stokes equations and a parallel domain decomposition method for solving the sparse system of nonlinear equations arising from the discretization. Non-Newtonian flow problems are, generally speaking, more challenging than Newtonian flows because the nonlinearities are not only in the convection term but also in the v...

Biological movement is a source of inspiration for designing soft robots that use fluidic actuation adaptive gripping and locomotion. While many biological systems networks non-Newtonian fluid movement, to date, most Newtonian fluids or pneumatics. Herein, yield stress manufacture operate devices are exploited, particularly create actuators exhibit shape memory. Our fabricated through embedded ...

the present work reports and discusses the results of a 3d simulation of the injection molding process of a rubber compound that includes the mold flling stage and  material curing, using the computer code is developed in “udf” part of the fluent 6.3 cae software. the data obtained from a rheometer (mdr 2000) is used to characterize the rubber material in order to fnd the cure model parameters ...

The convective heat transfer and pressure drop of water based Al2O3 nanofluid in a horizontal tube subject to constant wall temperature condition is investigated by computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method. The Al2O3 nanofluid at five volume concentration of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 % are applied as a non Newtonian power law and Newtonian fluid with experimentally measured properties of density...

Consider the 3D flow of a viscous Newtonian fluid upon a curved 2D substrate when the fluid film is thin as occurs in many draining, coating and biological flows. We derive a comprehensive model of the dynamics of the film, the model being expressed in terms of the film thickness η and the average lateral velocity ū. Based upon centre manifold theory, we are assured that the model accurately in...

We discuss various aspects of the post-Newtonian approximation in general relativity. After presenting the foundation based on the Newtonian limit, we use the (3+1) formalism to formulate the post-Newtonian approximation for the perfect fluid. As an application we show the method for constructing the equilibrium configuration of nonaxisymmetric uniformly rotating fluid. We also discuss the grav...

We present an experimental and numerical study of immiscible two-phase flow of Newtonian fluids in three-dimensional (3D) porous media to find the relationship between the volumetric flow rate (Q) and the total pressure difference ([Formula: see text]) in the steady state. We show that in the regime where capillary forces compete with the viscous forces, the distribution of capillary barriers a...

Lagrangian trajectories obtained through 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry (3D-PTV) measurements have been used to visualize the flow field of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a flat-bottomed vessel. The vessel, diameter T=180 mm, was equipped with 6-blade Rushton turbine D=T/3 four baffles width b=T/10. experiments were carried out transitional regime (73≤Re≤1,257). velocities acceleration...
