Abstract This paper analyzed the influence of various components and external environment on rheological properties shear thickening fluid (STF). The single-factor experimental study was carried out with silica particle size, mass fraction particles, continuous phase’s average molecular weight, temperature as influencing factors. Obtain factors initial viscosity, critical rate, period ratio STF...

Shear thickening fluids (STF) are a class of whose viscosity significantly rises under external loads. The research on these has been advancing in recent years regarding prospective practical applications, including developing impact-absorbing composites. Following the green agendas governments and legislators advocate, this study investigates combination STF other sustainable materials. Cork i...

In this paper, the study of fully developed flow a self-similar (fractal) power-law fluid is presented. The rheological way behaving modeled utilizing Ostwald–de Waele relationship (covering shear-thinning, Newtonian and shear-thickening fluids). A depicted as continuum in noninteger dimensional space. Involving vector calculus for instance space, we determine an analytical solution Cauchy equa...

Suspensions are of wide interest and form the basis for many smart fluids. For most suspensions, the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, that is, they shear thin. Few are reported to do the opposite, that is, shear thicken, despite the longstanding expectation that shear thickening is a generic type of suspension behaviour. Here we resolve this apparent contradiction. We demonstrate...

The problem of bubble contraction in a Hele-Shaw cell is studied for the case in which the surrounding fluid is of power-law type. A small perturbation of the radially symmetric problem is first considered, focussing on the behaviour just before the bubble vanishes, it being found that for shear-thinning fluids the radially symmetric solution is stable, while for shear-thickening fluids the asp...

Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of a cylinder in Newtonian fluid is model problem fluid–structure interactions and has been studied extensively. In this work, we study the influence shear-thinning shear-thickening fluids on VIV response one-degree-of-freedom flexibly-mounted cylinder. We consider system with mass ratio $m^*=2$ zero structural damping power-law at $Re_0 = 15$ 200$ , respectively...
