Abstract

Chapter 4 highlighted the necessity to develop a model that correlates the viscosity of Non-Newtonian oils to the shear reflection coefficient. In this chapter the Maxwell model is derived and simplified to obtain an analytical model that is function of the reflection coefficient only. The Maxwell model is then compared with the Newtonian algorithms and its efficiency is tested through a sensitivity analysis.
