  2. Power-law fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-law_fluid

    For example, if n were less than one, the power law predicts that the effective viscosity would decrease with increasing shear rate indefinitely, requiring a fluid with infinite viscosity at rest and zero viscosity as the shear rate approaches infinity, but a real fluid has both a minimum and a maximum effective viscosity that depend on the ...

  3. Temperature dependence of viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_dependence_of...

    The predictions of the first three models (hard-sphere, power-law, and Sutherland) can be simply expressed in terms of elementary functions. The Lennard–Jones model predicts a more complicated T {\displaystyle T} -dependence, but is more accurate than the other three models and is widely used in engineering practice.

  4. Carreau fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carreau_fluid

    Where: , , and are material coefficients: is the viscosity at zero shear rate (Pa.s), is the viscosity at infinite shear rate (Pa.s), is the characteristic time (s) and power index. The dynamics of fluid motions is an important area of physics, with many important and commercially significant applications.

  5. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The simplest model of the dense fluid viscosity is a (truncated) power series of reduced mole density or pressure. Jossi et al. (1962) [14] presented such a model based on reduced mole density, but its most widespread form is the version proposed by Lohrenz et al. (1964) [15] which is displayed below.

  6. Shear thinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_thinning

    In rheology, shear thinning is the non-Newtonian behavior of fluids whose viscosity decreases under shear strain. It is sometimes considered synonymous for pseudo- plastic behaviour, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and is usually defined as excluding time-dependent effects, such as thixotropy .

  7. Cross fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_fluid

    In fluid dynamics, a Cross fluid is a type of generalized Newtonian fluid whose viscosity depends upon shear rate according to the Cross Power Law equation: (˙) = + + (˙)where (˙) is viscosity as a function of shear rate, is the infinite-shear-rate viscosity, is the zero-shear-rate viscosity, is the time constant, and is the shear-thinning index.

  8. Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid

    The power law model is used to display the behavior of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids and measures shear stress as a function of strain rate. The relationship between shear stress, strain rate and the velocity gradient for the power law model are: τ x y = − m | γ ˙ | n − 1 d v x d y , {\displaystyle \tau _{xy}=-m\left|{\dot {\gamma ...

  9. Power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

    The distributions of a wide variety of physical, biological, and human-made phenomena approximately follow a power law over a wide range of magnitudes: these include the sizes of craters on the moon and of solar flares, [2] cloud sizes, [3] the foraging pattern of various species, [4] the sizes of activity patterns of neuronal populations, [5] the frequencies of words in most languages ...
