Abstract:
Non-Newtonian fluids, such as polymer solutions, have been used by the oil industry for many years as fracturing agents and drilling mud. These solutions, which normally include thickened water and jelled fluids, are injected into the formation to enhanced oil recovery by improving sweep efficiency. It is worth noting that some heavy oils behave non-Newtonianly. Non-Newtonian fluids do not have direct proportionality between applied shear stress and shear rate and viscosity varies with shear rate depending on whether the fluid is either pseudoplastic or dilatant. Viscosity decreases as shear rate increases for the former whilst the reverse takes place for dilatants. Mathematical models of conventional fluids thus fail when applied to non-Newtonian fluids. The pressure derivative curve is introduced in this descriptive work for a dilatant fluid and its pattern was observed. Tiab's direct synthesis (TDS) methodology was used as a tool for interpreting pressure transient data to estimate effective permeability, skin factors and non-Newtonian bank radius. The methodology was successfully verified by its application to synthetic examples. Also, comparing it to pseudoplastic behavior, it was found that the radial flow regime in the Newtonian zone of dilatant fluids took longer to form regarding both the flow behavior index and consistency factor.

Abstract:
Nanofluids behave like non-Newtonian fluids in many cases and, therefore, studying their symmetrical behavior is of paramount importance in nanofluid heat transfer modeling. This article attempts to provide are flection on symmetry via thorough description of a variety of non-Newtonian models and further provides a comprehensive review of articles on non-Newtonian models that have applied symmetrical flow modeling and nanofluid heat transfer. This study reviews articles from recent years and provides a comprehensive analysis of them. Furthermore, a thorough statistical symmetrical analysis regarding the commonality of nanoparticles, base fluids and numerical solutions to equations is provided. This article also investigates the history of nanofluid use as a non-Newtonian fluid; that is, the base fluid is considered to be non-Newtonian fluid or the base fluid is Newtonian, such as water. However, the nanofluid in question is regarded as non-Newtonian in modeling. Results show that 25% of articles considered nanofluids with Newtonian base fluid as a non-Newtonian model. In this article, the following questions are answered for the first time: Which non-Newtonian model has been used to model nanofluids? What are the most common non-Newtonian base fluids? Which numerical method is most used to solve non-Newtonian equations?

Abstract:
The present research work scrutinizes numerical heat transfer in convective boundary layer flow having characteristics of magnetic ( Fe 3 O 4 ) and nonmagnetic ( Al 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles synthesized into two different kinds of Newtonian (water) and non-Newtonian (sodium alginate) convectional base fluids of casson nanofluid which integrates the captivating effects of nonlinear thermal radiation and magnetic field embedded in a porous medium. The characterization of electrically transmitted viscous incompressible fluid is taken into account within the Casson fluid model. The mathematical formulation of governing partial differential equations (PDEs) with highly nonlinearity is renovated into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by utilizing the suitable similarity transform that constitutes nondimensional pertinent parameters. The transformed ODEs are tackled numerically by implementing b v p 4 c in MATLAB. A graphical illustration for the purpose of better numerical computations of flow regime is deliberated for the specified parameters corresponding to different profiles (velocity and temperature). To elaborate the behavior of Nusselt and skin friction factor, a tabular demonstration against the distinct specific parameters is analyzed. It is perceived that the velocity gradient of Newtonian fluids is much higher comparatively to non-newtonian fluids. On the contrary, the thermal gradient of non-Newtonian fluid becomes more condensed than that of Newtonian fluids. Graphical demonstration disclosed that the heat transfer analysis in non-Newtonian (sodium alginate)-based fluid is tremendously influenced comparatively to Newtonian (water)-based fluid, and radiation interacts with the highly denser temperature profile of non-Newtonian fluid in contrast to that of Newtonian fluid. Through such comparative analysis of magnetic or nonmagnetic nanoparticles synthesized into distinct base fluids, a considerable enhancement in thermal and heat transfer analysis is quite significant in many expanding engineering and industrial phenomenons.

Abstract:
The thermogravitational instability in a fluid layer of a non-Newtonian medium heated from below is investigated. Linear and weakly nonlinear analyses are successively presented. The fluid is assumed to obey the Carreau–Bird model. Although the critical threshold is the same as for a Newtonian fluid, it is found that non-Newtonian fluids can convect in the form of rolls, squares or hexagons, depending on the shear-thinning level. Similar to Newtonian fluids, shear-thickening fluids convect only in the form of rolls. The stability of the convective steady branches is carried out to determine under which specific conditions a pattern is preferred. The influence of the rheological and physical parameters is examined and discussed in detail.

Abstract:
The fully developed laminar flow of a viscous non-Newtonian fluid in a rough-walled pipe is considered. The fluid rheology is described by the power–law model (covering shear thinning, Newtonian, and shear thickening fluids). The rough surface of the pipe is considered to be fractal, and the surface roughness is measured using surface fractal dimensions. The main focus of this study lies in the theoretical investigation of the influence of the pipe surface roughness on the velocity profile and the Darcy friction factor of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid. The plotted results demonstrate that shear thinning fluids are the most sensitive to the surface roughness compared with Newtonian and shear thickening fluids. For a particular value of the surface fractal dimension, there exists an intersection point where shear thinning, Newtonian, and shear thickening fluids behave the same way regarding the amplitude of the velocity profile and the friction factor. This approach has a variety of potential applications, for instance fluid dynamics in hydrology, blood flow in the cardiovascular system, and many industrial applications.

Abstract:
The movement of the gas–liquid interface caused by the movement of the bubble position will have an impact on the starting conditions for particle migration. This article quantifies the influence of moving bubbles on the starting conditions of particle migration in non-Newtonian fluids, and it aims to better understand the influence of bubbles moving in non-Newtonian fluids on particle migration to achieve more effective control. First, the forces and moments acting on the particles are analyzed; then, fluid dynamics, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, extended DLVO (Derjaguin Landau Verwey Overbeek theory), surface tension, and friction are applied on the combined effects of particle migration. Then, we reasonably predict the influence of gas–liquid interface movement on particle migration in non-Newtonian fluids. The theoretical results show that the movement of the gas–liquid interface in non-Newtonian fluids will increase the separation force acting on the particles, which will lead to particle migration. Second, we carry out the particle migration experiment of moving bubbles in non-Newtonian fluid. Experiments show that when the solid–liquid two-phase flow is originally stable, particle migration occurs after the bubble movement is added. This phenomenon shows that the non-Newtonian fluid with bubble motion has stronger particle migration ability. Although there are some errors, the experimental results basically support the theoretical data.

In this paper, we constructed an acoustic thin-shell wormhole (ATW) under neo-Newtonian theory using the Darmois–Israel junction conditions. To determine the stability of the ATW by applying the cut-and-paste method, we found the surface density and surface pressure of the ATW under neo-Newtonian hydrodynamics just after obtaining an analog acoustic neo-Newtonian solution. We focused on the effects of the neo-Newtonian parameters by performing stability analyses using different types of fluids, such as a linear barotropic fluid (LBF), a Chaplygin fluid (CF), a logarithmic fluid (LogF) and a polytropic fluid (PF). We showed that a fluid with negative energy is required at the throat to keep the wormhole stable. The ATW can be stable if suitable values of the neo-Newtonian parameters [Formula: see text], A and B are chosen.

Abstract:
Improved and novel prediction methods are described for single-phase and two-phase flow of non-Newtonian fluids in pipes. Good predictions are achieved for pressure drop, liquid holdup fraction, and two-phase flow regime. The methods are applicable to any visco-inelastic non-Newtonian fluid and include the effect of surface roughness. The methods utilize a reference fluid for which validated models exist. For single-phase flow, the use of Newtonian and power-law reference fluids are illustrated. For two-phase flow, a Newtonian reference fluid is used. Focus is given to shear-thinning fluids. The approach is theoretically based and is expected to be more accurate for large, high-pressure pipelines than present correlation methods, which are all primarily based on low-pressure, small-diameter pipe experimental data.

Abstract:
Over the last few years, microbubbles have found application in biomedicine. In this study, the characteristics of bubbles formed when air is introduced from a micro-tube (internal diameter 110 μm) in non-Newtonian shear thinning fluids are studied. The dependence of the release time and the size of the bubbles on the gas phase rate and liquid phase properties is investigated. The geometrical characteristics of the bubbles are also compared with those formed in Newtonian fluids with similar physical properties. It was found that the final diameter of the bubbles increases by increasing the gas flow rate and the liquid phase viscosity. It was observed that the bubbles formed in a non-Newtonian fluid have practically the same characteristics as those formed in a Newtonian fluid, whose viscosity equals the asymptotic viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid, leading to the assumption that the shear rate around an under-formation bubble is high, and the viscosity tends to its asymptotic value. To verify this notion, bubble formation was simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The simulation results revealed that around an under-formation bubble, the shear rate attains a value high enough to lead the viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid to its asymptotic value.

Abstract:
In this work, we study active particles with prescribed surface velocities in non-Newtonian fluids. We employ the reciprocal theorem to obtain the velocity of an active spherical particle with an arbitrary axisymmetric slip velocity in an otherwise quiescent second-order fluid. We then determine how the motion of a diffusiophoretic Janus particle is affected by complex fluid rheology, namely viscoelasticity and shear-thinning viscosity, compared to a Newtonian fluid, assuming a fixed slip velocity. We find that a Janus particle may go faster or slower in a viscoelastic fluid, but is always slower in a shear-thinning fluid as compared to a Newtonian fluid.

Abstract:
Recently, studies on particle behavior under Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in microchannel have attracted considerable attention because particles and cells of interest can be manipulated and separated from biological samples without any external force. In this paper, two kinds of microchannels with non-rectangular cross-section were fabricated using basic MEMS processes (photolithography, reactive ion etching and anisotropy wet etching), plasma bonding and self-alignment between two PDMS structures. They were used to achieve the experiments for inertial and elasto-inertial particle focusing under Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The particle behavior was compared and investigated for different flow rates and particle size in the microchannel with rhombic and equilateral hexagonal cross section. We also investigated the influence of Newtonian fluid and viscoelastic fluid on particle migration in both microchannels through the numerical simulation. The experimental results showed the multi-line particle focusing in Newtonian fluid over a wide range of flow rates, but the single-line particle focusing was formed in the centerline under non-Newtonian fluid. The tighter particle focusing appeared under non-Newtonian fluid in the microchannel with equilateral hexagonal cross-section than in the microchannel with rhombic cross section because of the effect of an obtuse angle. It revealed that particles suspended in the channel are likely to drift toward a channel center due to a negative net elasto-inertial force throughout the cross-sectional area. Simulation results support the present experimental observation that the viscoelastic fluid in the microchannel with rhombic and equilateral hexagonal cross-section significantly influences on the particle migration toward the channel center owing to coupled effect of inertia and elasticity.

Abstract:
A study of laminar, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in nozzles has been undertaken. A theoretical model, previously deduced for Newtonian flows in expansions, was developed for Newtonian and non-Newtonian flows in nozzles. The model is based on a two-stream approach where the momentum and kinetic energy stored in the velocity profile of the fluid is altered by an area change of one stream relative to the other. The non-Newtonian liquids investigated were shear thinning. The model was used to investigate these non-Newtonian fluids and to justify the use of simpler, more approximate equations developed for the loss and flow coefficients. The model is compared favourably with data available in the open literature.

This article investigates the heat transfer flow of two layers of Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluids though a cylindrical pipe. The flow is assumed to be steady, incompressible, and stable and the fluid layers do not mix with each other. The fluid flow and heat transfer equations are modeled using the linear PTT fluid model. Exact solutions for the velocity, flow rates, temperature profiles, and stress distributions are obtained. It has also been shown that one can recover the Newtonian fluid results from the obtained results by putting the non-Newtonian parameters to zero. These results match with the corresponding results for Newtonian fluids already present in the literature. Graphical analysis of the behavior of the fluid velocities, temperatures, and stresses is also presented at the end. It is also shown that maximum velocity occurs in the inner fluid layer.

Abstract:
The motivation for this study was to develop a microdevice for the precise rheological characterization of biofluids, especially blood. The method presented was based on the principles of rheometry and fluid mechanics at the microscale. Traditional rheometers require a considerable amount of space, are expensive, and require a large volume of sample. A mathematical model was developed that, combined with a proper experimental model, allowed us to characterize the viscosity of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids at different shear rates. The technology presented here is the basis of a point-of-care device capable of describing the nonlinear rheology of biofluids by the fluid/air interface front velocity characterization through a microchannel. The proposed microrheometer uses a small amount of sample to deliver fast and accurate results, without needing a large laboratory space. Blood samples from healthy donors at distinct hematocrit percentages were the non-Newtonian fluid selected for the study. Water and plasma were employed as testing Newtonian fluids for validation of the system. The viscosity results obtained for the Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids were consistent with pertinent studies cited in this paper. In addition, the results achieved using the proposed method allowed distinguishing between blood samples with different characteristics.

Abstract:
Most of the fluid used in industrial application (i.e. Oils and gas industry, food manufacturing, lubrication and biomedical) do not conform to the Newtonian postulate. In contrast to the Newtonian fluid, the viscosity of the fluid can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid and dependent on shear rate history. This behaviour of fluids is commonly known as non-Newtonian fluid. The non-Newtonian fluid is so widespread in nature and technology resulting in very high interest of investigating among scientist. The Reiner-Philippoff fluid is one of the types of non-Newtonian fluid models that exhibiting the dilatant, pseudoplastic and Newtonian behaviors. Hence, this study is devoted to analyze the flow and heat transfer of Reiner-Philippoff fluid with the presence of first and second order velocity slip together with the temperature jump effects over a stretching sheet. Partial differential equations of continuity, momentum and energy equations were transformed into the similarity equations. The obtained equations were then solved via bvp4c function in MATLAB software. For the validation purpose, the present model and its numerical solution were compared with previous established solutions under limiting case where the present model is condensed to be identical with the reported model and turn to be in very strong agreement. The consequences of pertinent parameters on fluid’s characteristics are analyzed in details through the plotted graphic visuals and tabular form.

Abstract:
This study experimentally investigates the entry of hydrophobic/hydrophilic spheres into Newtonian and Boger fluids. By considering solution of 82% glycerin and 18% water and solution of 80% glycerin, 20% water and 100 ppm polyacrylamide, Newtonian and Boger fluids are made, respectively. It has been tried that liquids' surface tension, density, and viscosity are almost the same. Thus, all dimensionless numbers are approximately the same at a similar impact velocity except for the elasticity number. A PcoDimaxS highspeed camera captures the spheres' trajectory from the impact to the end of the path. Regarding the range of released height ([Formula: see text]), the impact velocities are approximately in the range of [Formula: see text]. The role of fluid elasticity in combination with the sphere surface wettability on the air cavity formation/evolution/collapse is mainly studied. Also, the kinetics of the sphere motion (velocity, acceleration, and hydrodynamic force coefficient) is studied. The results show that air drawn due to the sphere's impact with the Newtonian liquid is more, and the pinch-off takes place later. Also, shedding bubbles are cusped-shaped in the Boger fluid, while in the Newtonian fluid, they are elliptical. In addition, the most significant impact of surface wettability is observed in the Newtonian fluid. Finally, the results reveal that the sphere in the Newtonian fluid can move faster and travel a longer distance in a specific time interval. The differences observed are closely related to the viscoelastic fluid's elasticity property and extensional viscosity.

Abstract:
Summary The displacement of non-Newtonian power-law fluids in communicating stratified reservoirs with a log-normal permeability distribution is studied. Equations are derived for fractional oil recovery, water cut, injectivity ratio, and pseudorelative permeability functions, and the performance is compared with that for Newtonian fluids. Constant-injection-rate and constant-total-pressure-drop cases are studied. The effects of the following factors on performance are investigated: the flow-behavior indices, the apparent mobility ratio, the Dykstra-Parsons variation coefficient, and the flow rate. It was found that fractional oil recovery increases for nw > no and decreases for nw < no, as compared with Newtonian fluids. For the same ratio of nw /no, oil recovery increases as the apparent mobility ratio decreases. The effect of reservoir heterogeneity in decreasing oil recovery is more apparent for the case of nw > no . Increasing the total injection rate increases the recovery for nw > no, and the opposite is true for nw < no . It also was found that the fractional oil recovery for the displacement at constant total pressure drop is lower than that for the displacement at constant injection rate, with the effect being more significant when nw < no. Introduction Many of the fluids injected into the reservoir in enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR)/improved-oil-recovery (IOR) processes such as polymer, surfactant, and alkaline solutions may be non-Newtonian; in addition, some heavy oils exhibit non-Newtonian behavior. Flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media has been studied mainly for single-phase flow. Savins (1969) presented a comprehensive review of the rheological behavior of non-Newtonian fluids and their flow behavior through porous media. van Poollen and Jargon (1969) presented a finite-difference solution for transient-pressure behavior, while Odeh and Yang (1979) derived an approximate closed-form analytical solution of the problem. Chakrabarty et al. (1993) presented Laplace-space solutions for transient pressure in fractal reservoirs. For multiphase flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media, the problem was considered only for single-layer cases. Salman et al. (1990) presented the modifications for the Buckley-Leverett frontal-advance method and for the JBN relative permeability method for non-Newtonian power-law fluid displacing a Newtonian fluid. Wu et al. (1992) studied the displacement of a Bingham non-Newtonian fluid (oil) by a Newtonian fluid (water). Wu and Pruess (1998) introduced a numerical finite-difference solution for displacement of non-Newtonian fluids in linear systems and in a five-spot pattern. Yi (2004) developed a Buckley-Leverett model for displacement by a Newtonian fluid of a fracturing fluid having a Herschel-Bulkley rheological behavior. An iterative procedure was used to obtain a solution of the model. The methods available in the literature to predict linear waterflooding performance in stratified reservoirs are grouped into two categories depending on the assumption of communication or no communication between the different layers. In the case of noncommunicating systems, no vertical crossflow is permitted between the adjacent layers. The Dykstra-Parsons (1950) method is the basis for performance prediction in noncommunicating stratified reservoirs.

Abstract:
In this paper, the study of the fully developed flow of a self-similar (fractal) power-law fluid is presented. The rheological way of behaving of the fluid is modeled utilizing the Ostwald–de Waele relationship (covering shear-thinning, Newtonian and shear-thickening fluids). A self-similar (fractal) fluid is depicted as a continuum in a noninteger dimensional space. Involving vector calculus for the instance of a noninteger dimensional space, we determine an analytical solution of the Cauchy equation for the instance of a non-Newtonian self-similar fluid flow in a cylindrical pipe. The plot of the velocity profile obtained shows that the rheological behavior of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is essentially impacted by its self-similar structure. A self-similar shear thinning fluid and a self-similar Newtonian fluid take on a shear-thickening way of behaving, and a self-similar shear-thickening fluid becomes more shear thickening. This approach has many useful applications in industry, for the investigation of blood flow and fractal fluid hydrology.

Based on the principles of continuum mechanics, we drive the governing equations for the hydrodynamic lubrication involving the mixture of two incompressible fluids. The governing equations are general in the sense that they can be applied to the mixture of any simple non-Newtonian fluid with a Newtonian fluid. A mixture thus formed is considered to be nonhomogeneous and non-Newtonian. In the theoretical development, the interaction between the constituents is taken into consideration. It is shown that a number of currently available models are special cases of the theory presented in this paper. As an example, results are presented for journal bearing performance lubricated with a mixture of a power-law fluid mixed with Newtonian oil.

AbstractStatic mixers are widely used in various industrial applications to intensify the laminar mixing of non-Newtonian fluids. Non-Newtonian fluids can be categorized into (1) time-independent, (2) time-dependent, and (3) viscoelastic fluids. Computational fluid dynamics studies on the laminar mixing of viscoelastic fluids are very limited due to the complexity in incorporating the multiple relaxation times and the associated stress tensor into the constitutive equations. This review paper provides recommendations for future research studies while summarizing the key research contributions in the field of non-Newtonian fluid mixing using static mixers. This review discusses the different experimental techniques employed such as electrical resistance tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, planar laser-induced fluorescence, and positron emission particle tracking. A comprehensive overview of the mixing fundamentals, fluid chaos, numerical characterization of fluid stretching, development of pressure drop correlations, and derivations of generalized Reynolds number is also provided in this review paper.

Abstract:
The present numerical analysis reveals the nature of non-Newtonian fluid flow through circular microchannels under slip boundary conditions. The power law has been used for the simulation of the fluid flow, which considers a steady, laminar, incompressible non-Newtonian fluid acted upon by a constant, externally applied magnetic field. The flow is axisymmetric and slip boundary conditions are applied in the near wall. A constant magnetic flux has been applied on the wall boundary to analyze the effect of magnetic field on Xanthan solution in formic acid, a type of non-Newtonian fluid having electrical conductivity. Using control volume method of finite difference scheme, a set of dimensionless governing differential equations defining the behavior of the fluid flow in the microchannel under an externally applied magnetic field, has been solved using slip boundary conditions to understand the effect of magnetic field on slip induced flow of non-Newtonian fluids. The results have depicted that the magnetic field affects both the centerline velocity and slip velocity but it is more prominent for the centerline velocities. The main objective of this research is to study the flow of non-Newtonian fluid, Xanthan through a circular microchannel and its corresponding behavior when flow boundary conditions are applied to interpret the characteristics under an externally applied magnetic field. The results obtained from this present study will find its application in the area of the flow of ferrofluids and biofluids. HIGHLIGHTS Most of the bio fluids and ferrofluids are non-Newtonian in nature and it is required to control these fluids when they pass through microchannels of modern devices Analysis conducted to find out the flow behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids through circular microchannels when they are exposed to externally applied magnetic fields Slip flow occurs in the fluid flow and an externally applied magnetic field controls the flow patterns by affecting slip velocity and centerline velocity which introduces extra flow in the microchannel.

Abstract:
Penetration grouting technology is an important technical means to improve the mechanical properties of gravel soil layers, and the time-varying characteristics of Newtonian fluid viscosity have an important influence on the morphology and effect of penetration grouting. However, these time-varying properties are not considered in the current research on the mechanism of Newtonian fluid penetration grouting. In this paper, by studying the basic rheological equation of Newtonian fluids and its dynamic viscosity time-varying law, the penetration motion equation of viscosity time-varying Newtonian fluids is discussed, by means of theoretical analysis and experimental research. Based on this, the time-varying viscosity Newtonian fluid columnar penetration grouting diffusion mechanism (TVNCPGDM) equation is derived, the application scope of the equation is analyzed and a grouting experiment is designed to verify it. The results show that the theoretical value of the grouting diffusion radius calculated by the TVNCPGDM equation, is closer to the experimental value than that obtained by the equation of columnar penetration grouting without considering the viscosity time-varying Newtonian fluid, with a 12.9% improvement in accuracy. This shows that the TVNCPGDM equation derived in this paper, can better reflect the diffusion law and diffusion morphology of column penetration grouting of Newtonian fluid, which changes with time in the injected medium; and the diffusion radius obtained for penetration grouting is more in line with the actual grouting engineering demands. The research results can provide some theoretical guidance for the actual grouting of loose gravel soil layers.

Abstract:
In many research works, the fluid medium in electroosmosis is considered to be a Newtonian fluid, while the polymer solutions and biological fluids used in biomedical fields mostly belong to the non-Newtonian category. Based on the finite volume method (FVM), the electroosmotic flow (EOF) of viscoelastic fluids in near-neutral (pH = 7.5) solution considering four ions (K+, Cl−, H+, OH−) is numerically studied, as well as the viscoelastic fluids’ flow characteristics in a microchannel described by the Linear Phan-Thien–Tanner (LPTT) constitutive model under different conditions, including the electrical double layer (EDL) thickness, the Weissenberg number (Wi), the viscosity ratio and the polymer extensibility parameters. When the EDL does not overlap, the velocity profiles for both Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids are plug-like and increase sharply near the charged wall. Compared with Newtonian fluid at Wi = 3, the viscoelastic fluid velocity increases by 5 times and 9 times, respectively, under the EDL conditions of kH = 15 and kH = 250, indicating the shear thinning behavior of LPTT fluid. Shear stress obviously depends on the viscosity ratio and different Wi number conditions. The EOF is also enhanced by the increase (decrease) in polymer extensibility parameters (viscosity ratio). When the extensibility parameters are large, the contribution to velocity is gradually weakened.

Abstract:
Magneto Rheological (MR) fluids are a class of smart materials where the shear stress is not directly proportional to rate of shear. The viscosity of fluid changes as magnetic field changes and hence this phenomenon is very useful in bearing-rotor system for attenuating the vibrations. In the present study the application of MR fluid as lubricant instead of Newtonian fluid in the journal bearing is explored through steady state, dynamic characteristics and stability. MR fluid film has been modeled as per Bingham rheological model. FEM with three node triangular elements has been used to solve the Reynolds equation both for the Newtonian fluid film and MR fluid film. The results show the load carrying capacity in the case of MR fluid journal bearing is higher than that of using the Newtonian fluid. The load carrying capacity increases with the increasing magnetic field for all eccentricity ratios. The results also show better stability of the bearing using MR fluid at higher eccentricity ratios. The unbalance response of the rotor mounted on the journal bearing using MR fluid is also estimated to be lower than that of with the Newtonian fluid.

Abstract:
A smart magnetorheological elastomer peristaltic pump (MRE-PP) realizes controlled movements to convey Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids under various scheduling policies for electromagnets. Although the structure of the basic element consisted of a magnetorheological elastomer tube and an electromagnet is very succinct, the capability of fluid conveying is dramatically improved when the magnetorheological elastomer peristaltic pump composed of more elements in series is employed. Besides, scheduling policies and the length of the magnetorheological elastomer tube, as another two significant factors, also have remarkable effects on backflow, pumped fluid volume, and viscosity of blood. Various scheduling policies are designed to realize fluid conveying with relatively high pumped volume for non-Newtonian fluid. Meanwhile, low destructiveness is demonstrated in the designed magnetorheological elastomer peristaltic pumps, allowing a potential application of conveying stress sensitive fluids.

Full text
Abstract:
The experimentally verified fact that there is a high pressure zone in the lower part of the oesophagus has established that the earlier models fall short of representing the realistic swallowing process in the oesophagus. Since the high pressure is created by gradually increasing amplitudes of peristaltic waves, swallowing of Casson fluid in oesophagus is mathematically remodeled. It is revealed that in the case of exponentially increasing amplitude, pressure is non-uniformly distributed for different cycles. Pressure increases along the entire length of the oesophagus; and finally toward the end of the oesophageal flow, it increases quite significantly, probably to ensure delivery into the stomach. This is a similar observation for Newtonian as well as non-Newtonian fluids but Casson fluids need more pressure; and hence more efforts are required by the oesophagus to transport the fluid forward. When wave amplitude is small, flow rates are small. In such a case, Casson fluid requires higher flow rates for reflux to occur in comparison to Newtonian fluid. This tendency gradually diminishes with increasing amplitude. For a particular value of amplitude, there is no difference; and beyond that the trends are quite opposite. Thus, Casson fluid is found to be less prone to reflux near the wall. It is also concluded that for the Newtonian fluid as well as for the non-Newtonian Casson fluid, reflux is more likely to occur with increasing amplitude and it is further augmented by the addition of amplifying parameter.

Abstract:
Numerous natural processes are contingent on microorganisms’ ability to swim through fluids with non-Newtonian rheology. Here, we use the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and tracking methods to experimentally investigate the dynamics of undulatory swimming in shear-thinning fluids. Theory and simulation have proposed that the cost of swimming, or mechanical power, should be lower in a shear-thinning fluid compared to a Newtonian fluid of the same zero-shear viscosity. We aim to provide an experimental investigation into the cost of swimming in a shear-thinning fluid from (i) an estimate of the mechanical power of the swimmer and (ii) the viscous dissipation rate of the flow field, which should yield equivalent results for a self-propelled low Reynolds number swimmer. We find the cost of swimming in shear-thinning fluids is less than or equal to the cost of swimming in Newtonian fluids of the same zero-shear viscosity; furthermore, the cost of swimming in shear-thinning fluids scales with a fluid’s effective viscosity and can be predicted using fluid rheology and simple swimming kinematics. Our results agree reasonably well with previous theoretical predictions and provide a framework for understanding the cost of swimming in generalized Newtonian fluids.

The micropolar fluid or Eringen fluid and Newtonian viscous fluid are flowing in the upper and lower regions of the horizontal porous channel, respectively.

The effects of various physical parameters like angles of inclination of magnetic field, viscosity ratio, micropolarity parameter, etc., on the velocities, micro-rotational velocity of two immiscible fluids in horizontal porous channel, wall-shear stress, and flow rate have been discussed. The result obtained for immiscible micropolar–Newtonian fluids are compared with the results of two immiscible Newtonian fluids.

AbstractPeristaltic transport is an important mechanism of physiological phenomenon and peristaltic pumps. With the advancement of medical science, it has been established that the physiological fluids do not behave like Newtonian fluids. Therefore, in order to understand the behaviour and properties of physiological fluids during peristalsis, selection of appropriate fluid model is of great importance. In the present investigation, properties of peristaltic transport through nonuniform tube have been studied for non-Newtonian fluids using Rabinowitsch fluid model. Theoretical analysis has been presented for long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. To analyse various properties of the flow, analytical expressions for velocity, pressure gradient, pressure rise, friction force, and temperature have been obtained. The numerical results for the same have been obtained to present the effect of various physical and flow parameters on fluid velocity, pressure rise, friction force, and temperature. Significant variation of these properties has been observed in the analysis for non-Newtonian nature of the fluid and nonuniformity of the tube.

Abstract:
Non-Newtonian fluid flow in porous and fractured media is of considerable technical and environmental interest. Here, the flow of a non-Newtonian fluid in a variable aperture fracture is studied theoretically, experimentally and numerically. We consider a shear-thinning power-law fluid with flow behavior index n. The natural logarithm of the fracture aperture is a two-dimensional, spatially homogeneous and correlated Gaussian random field. An experimental device has been conceived and realized to allow the validation of the theory, and several tests are conducted with Newtonian and shear-thinning fluids and different combinations of parameters to validate the model. For Newtonian fluids, experimental results match quite well the theoretical predictions, mostly with a slight overestimation. For non-Newtonian fluids, the discrepancy between experiments and theory is larger, with an underestimation of the experimental flow rate. We bear in mind the high shear-rates involved in the experiments, covering a large range where simple models seldom are effective in reproducing the process, and possible interferences like slip at the wall. For all test conditions, the comparison between analytical and numerical model is fairly good.

Abstract:
We performed numerical simulation to investigate the effects of wall slip on flow behaviors of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in macro and micro contraction channels. The results show that the wall slip introduces different vortex growth for the flow in micro channel as compared to that in macro channel, which are qualitatively in agreement with experimental results. The effects of slip on bulk flow behaviors depend on rheological property of the fluid. For Newtonian fluid, the wall slip always reduces the vortex length, while for non-Newtonian fluid, the strength of the slip determines whether the vortex length is reduced or increased. Analyses on the velocity and stress fields confirm the channel size dependent phenomena, such as the reduction of wall shear stress with the decrease in channel size. With the increase in average shear rate, the Newtonian fluid shows the reduction of wall shear stress that increases in the same trend with slip velocity-wall shear stress function, while for non-Newtonian fluid, the effect of the slip is suppressed by shear thinning effect and, therefore, the reduction of wall shear stress is less sensitive to the change in average shear rate and slip velocity-wall shear stress function.

Governing equations are non-dimensionalized and solved numerically. Grid independence test has been performed and then compared with existing literature in limiting cases. Results are discussed with the aid of graphs for the sway of several physical parameters, Casson parameter, Magnetic parameter, Thermal radiation parameter on fluid velocity, as well as temperature profiles for different cases: No-slip, only first-order slip, and first and second-order slips.

A theoretical analysis of an asymmetric roller bearing system with cavitation that is hydro-dynamically lightly loaded and lubricated by a thin, incompressible fluid is presented. The lubricant adheres to the non-Newtonian Bingham plastic fluid concept, in which the viscosity of the fluid should change depending on the mean film temperature. The continuity and momentum equations, which regulate fluid flow, are first solved analytically and then numerically using MATLAB. Through graphs and tables, some key bearing features are addressed and further explained. This leads to the conclusion that there is a discernible difference between Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in terms of pressure, temperature, load, and traction. The findings are good in line with the body of literature.

We find that the velocity and the temperature fields decrease for shear thickening fluid; but the velocity and temperature fields of the shear thinning, and Newtonian fluids increase with an increase in the angle of inclination. Furthermore, there were more trapping boluses occurring for the Newtonian fluid case as compared to the pseudoplastic and dilatant fluids cases. However, as the angle of inclination increases, the size of trapping bolus decreases.

Abstract:
This paper presents the comparative analysis of MHD boundary layer fluid flow around a linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiative heat flux, heat generation/absorption, thermophoresis velocity, and chemical reaction effects in a permeable surface. The governing equations are highly nonlinear PDEs which are converted into coupled ODEs with the help of dimensionless variables and solved by using semianalytical techniques. The numerical and graphical outcomes are observed and presented via tables and graphs. Also, the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers and skin friction coefficient are illustrated by tables. On observation of heat and mass transfer, it was noticed that Maxwell fluid dominates the other fluids such as Newtonian, Williamson, and Casson fluid due to high rate of thermal conductivity, and hence, Maxwell fluid has better tendency for heat and mass transfer than other Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
