Abstract

The majority of the fluids dealt with by Engineers and Scientists, such as air, water and oils, can be regarded as Newtonian under most conditions of interest. However, in many cases the assumption of Newtonian behaviour is not valid and the rather more complex non-Newtonian response must be modelled. Such situations arise in the chemical processing industry and plastics processing industry. Non-Newtonian behaviour is also encountered in the mining industry, where slurries and muds are often handled, and in applications such as lubrication and biomedical flows. The simulation of non-Newtonian fluid flow phenomena is therefore of importance to industry.
