This review highlights the profound and unexpected ways in which viscosity varying in
space and time can affect flow. The most striking manifestations are through alterations of …

Conventional mineral waste disposal involves pum** dilute concentration suspensions of
tailings to large catchment areas, where the solids settle to form a consolidated base while …

The drag reduction by high molecular weight polymer additives in a turbulent flow is an
important phenomenon that has received the attention of a number of researchers. However …

The paper presents a novel Reynolds-averaged turbulence model for flows of power-law
fluid. The model uses the elliptic relaxation approach to capture the near-wall turbulence …

Polymer reaction and performance improvement are one of the important contents in the
field of polymer materials science and engineering, in which polymer catalytic …

High concentration tailings suspension is attracting increasingly more attention due to its
environmental and economic benefits. The interaction between non-Newtonian carrier and …

A spectral element—Fourier method (SEM) for Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of the
turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is described and the particular requirements for non …

Understanding transition and turbulence in the flow of shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids
remains substantially unresolved and additional research is required to develop better …

We present an experimental investigation of turbulent drag reduction with flexible and rigid
polymer solutions in a 2: 1 aspect ratio rectangular duct. The flexible polymer is partially …

Fully developed turbulent flows of power-law fluids in a cylindrical stationary pipe are
investigated numerically by the use of large eddy simulation (LES) for various power law …
