▼ Blood, the most significant biological fluids plays a very vital role in the human mechanism, in terms of supplying the required nutrients to different parts of the human body, removing waste products and defending the body against infection through the action of antibodies. Therefore, it is imperative that blood flow must be studied in great detail. Hemodynamic analysis of blood flow in vascular beds and prosthetic devices requires the rheological behavior of blood to be characterized through appropriate constitutive equations relating the stress to deformation and rate of deformation. Numerical simulations, although not very accurate, provide an excellent alternative around this difficulty.
As part of the preliminary studies, the
Newtonian model of blood was assumed, and wall shear stresses have been plotted at certain critical points. Profiles of wall shear stress were then compared with the experimental results of Ku and Giddens. A numerical investigation of blood flow in stenosed carotid artery of the human body is presented in this thesis. Using a three-dimensional computational model of the stenosis, simulations were performed to capture the
Non-
Newtonian behavior of blood. The flow is considered as being pulsatile, with appropriate realistic boundary conditions.
A shear thinning model (Carreau???s) and a visco-elastic model (Yeleswarapu???s Olydroyd-B model) have been employed to predict wall shear stress for the case of a healthy carotid artery and two cases of stenosed carotid artery models (50% and 90% stenosed carotid artery). From these simulation results, it was observed that wall shear stresses predicted by the models at certain critical points are different. Recirculation zones, flow separation and associated negative wall shear stress were observed in certain cases.

▼ The flow of
non-
Newtonian fluids in porous media is important in many applications, such as polymer processing, heavy oil flow, and gel cleanup in propped fractures. Residual polymer gel in propped fractures results in low fracture conductivity and short effective fracture length, sometimes causing severe productivity impairment of a hydraulically fractured well. Some residual gels are concentrated in the filter cakes built on the fracture walls and have much higher polymer concentration than the original gel. The residual gel exhibits a higher yield stress, and is difficult to remove after fracture closure. But
non-
Newtonian fluid has complicated rheological equation and its flow behavior in porous media is difficult to be described and modeled. The Kozeny-Carman equation, a traditional permeability-porosity relationship, has been popularly used in porous media flow models. However, this relationship is not suitable for
non-
Newtonian fluid flow in porous media.
At first, I studied polymer gel behavior in hydraulic fracturing theoretically and experimentally. I developed a model to describe the flow behavior of residual polymer gel being displaced by gas in parallel plates. I developed analytical models for gas-liquid two-phase stratified flow of
Newtonian gas and
non-
Newtonian residual gel to investigate gel cleanup under different conditions. The concentrated gel in the filter cake was modeled as a Herschel-Buckley fluid, a shear-thinning fluid following a power law relationship, but also having a yield stress.
Secondly, I used a combination of analytical calculations and 3D finite volume simulation to investigate the flow behavior of Herschel-Bulkley
non-
Newtonian fluid flow through propped fractures. I developed the comprehensive mathematical model, and then modified the model based on numerical simulation results. In the simulations, I developed a micro pore-scale model to mimic the real porous structure of flow channel in propped fractures. The correlation of pressure gradient and superficial velocity was investigated under the influence of primary parameters, such as yield stress, power law index, and consistency index. I also considered the effect of proppant packing arrangement and proppant diameter. The Herschel-Bulkley model was used with an appropriate modification proposed by Papanastasiou to avoid the discontinuity of the apparent viscosity and numerical difficulties.

▼ The non-Newtonian fluids are of vital importance
due to their diverse applications in modern technology, industries
and bio-mechanics. Thus, the analysis of thermal stability and
thermosolutal stability of such fluids like Rivlin-Ericksen fluids,
couple-stress fluids, ferromagnetic fluids and micropolar fluids
are desirable. We have used the two fundamental hypotheses i.e.,
continuum hypothesis and Newtonian mechanics throughout our study.
In the present thesis, the linearized stability theory and normal
mode analysis have been used to study the effects of various
important parameters like suspended particles, compressibility,
rotation, magnetic field, Hall currents, solute gradient, variable
gravity, porous medium, micropolar coefficient, coupling parameter,
micropolar heat conduction parameter etc. on various stability
problems of hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic systems of non-Newtonian
fluids. The thermal stability of a layer of Rivlin-Ericksen fluid
heated and soluted from below in porous medium is considered to
include the effect of suspended particles in the presence of
uniform magnetic field, uniform rotation and variable gravity
field. It is found that, for stationary convection, suspended
particles have destabilizing effect, solute gradient has
stabilizing effect whereas magnetic field, permeability and
rotation have stabilizing/destabilizing effect under certain
conditions. The principle of exchange of stabilities is satisfied
in the absence of magnetic field, rotation and stable solute
gradient. The presence of these parameters introduces oscillatory
modes into the system.

▼ In this thesis, a theoretical investigation is undertaken into fluid and mixing flows generated by various geometries for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, on both sequential and parallel computer systems. The thesis begins by giving the necessary background to the mixing process and a summary of the fundamental characteristics of parallel architecture machines. This is followed by a literature review which covers accomplished work in mixing flows, numerical methods employed to simulate fluid mechanics problems and also a review of relevant parallel algorithms. Next, an overview is given of the numerical methods that have been reviewed, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods. In the first section of the work the implementation of the primitive variable finite element method to solve a simple two dimensional fluid flow problem is studied. For the same geometry colour band mixing is also investigated. Further investigational work is undertaken into the flows generated by various rotors for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. An extended version of the primitive variable formulation is employed, colour band mixing is also carried out on two of these geometries. The latter work is carried out on a parallel architecture machine. The design specifications of a parallel algorithm for a MIMD system are discussed, with particular emphasis placed on frontal and multifrontal methods. This is followed by an explanation of the implementation of the proposed parallel algorithm, applied to the same fluid flow problems as considered earlier and a discussion of the efficiency of the system is given. Finally, a discussion of the conclusions of the entire accomplished work is presented. A number of suggestions for future work are also given. Three published papers relating to the work carried out on the transputer networks are included in the appendices.

▼ Processing of elastic
non-
Newtonian fluids is of critical importance to many
industrial manufacturing processes. Three different processes are analyzed in this work:
co-extrusion of polymer melts, inclined plane flow of soft particle pastes, and roll-to-roll
processing of soft particle pastes. These three processes are examined using stability theory
and finite element simulation as tools and, when possible, experimental results obtained by
collaborators are used to verify and test findings.
The polymer co-extrusion process analyzed in this work is an experimental device
at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) that creates many layered polymer films with
individual layer thicknesses on the order of microns to 100s of nanometers. Due to forces
acting between the layers during the co-extrusion process, the layered structure can be
damaged or destroyed. Two key components of this process are analyzed using the finite
element method: the feedblock for the co-extruder and the layer multiplier dies. The study
of the feedblock identifies two critical improvements for the process that help mitigate the
destruction of the layered structure. The finite element analysis of the multiplier dies
identify a way to reduce the high pressure drop through the multiplier die, and a design that helps preserve the layered structure. These results are confirmed experimentally by
collaborators at CWRU.
In the second part of this work, flow of a soft particle paste down an inclined plane
is analyzed using a linear stability theory. This problem is tackled a preliminary study to
the roll-to-roll processing of the same material. Stability of inclined plane flow has been
studied in the literature for a variety of different materials. The destabilizing second normal
stress differences exhibited by the soft particle paste are found to compete with the
stabilizing force of surface tension. Stable and unstable wavenumber ranges are determined
for this problem, as well as the fastest growing mode. This is then used to compute the
expected wave lengths seen for varying yield stress.
Lastly, the stability of flow of a soft particle paste in a forward roll coating process
is analyzed. Forward roll coating of soft particle pastes is a common industrial process,
particularly in the area of paint application. The analysis examines the impact of material
properties on the so –called ribbing instability that is known to occur in many roll-to-roll
processes. A method for analyzing the stability of
Newtonian fluids in forward roll coating
is expanded to power law fluids. The results show that stability strongly depends on the
capillary number and the power law index.

(more)
▼ Initially 3D FEM simulation of a simplified mixer was used to examine the effect of mixer configuration and operating conditions on dispersive mixing of a non-Newtonian fluid. Horizontal and vertical velocity magnitudes increased with increasing mixer speed, while maximum axial velocity and shear rate were greater with staggered paddles. In contrast, parallel paddles produced an area of efficient dispersive mixing between the center of the paddle and the barrel wall. This study was expanded to encompass the complete nine-paddle mixing section using power-law and Bird-Carreau fluid models. In the center of the mixer, simple shear flow was seen, corresponding with high γ&. Efficient dispersive mixing appeared near the barrel wall at all flow rates and near the barrel center with parallel paddles. Areas of backflow, improving fluid retention time, occurred with staggered paddles. The Bird-Carreau fluid showed greater influence of paddle motion under the same operating conditions due to the inelastic nature of the fluid. Shear-thinning behavior also resulted in greater maximum shear rate as shearing became easier with decreasing fluid viscosity. Shear rate distributions are frequently calculated, but extension rate calculations have not been made in a complex geometry since Debbaut and Crochet (1988) defined extension rate as the ratio of the third to the second invariant of the strain rate tensor. Extension rate was assumed to be negligible in most studies, but here extension rate is shown to be significant. It is possible to calculate maximum stable bubble diameter from capillary number if shear and extension rates in a flow field are known. Extension rate distributions were calculated for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. High extension and shear rates were found in the intermeshing region. Extension is the major influence on critical capillary number and maximum stable bubble diameter, but when extension rate values are low shear rate has a larger impact. Examination of maximum stable bubble diameter through the mixer predicted areas of higher bubble dispersion based on flow type. This research has advanced simulation of non-Newtonian fluid and shown that direct calculation of extension rate is possible, demonstrating the effect of extension rate on bubble break-up.

▼ Thermophysical properties and rheological behavior of silica (SiO2) nanoparticle colloidal suspension with 9.58% volume concentration in water were analyzed. The laminar flow of the fluid through tubes of different diameter was studied to compare its pressure drop and heat transfer performance with those of water.
Thermal conductivity of the silica suspension was found to be 0.99% to 3.6% higher than the same property of water when measured from 7°C to 50°C. Within the temperature range, thermal conductivity of the silica suspension and water increased by 9.88% and 11.1% respectively, with increase in temperature.
It was observed that the colloidal dispersion of silica behaved as
non-
Newtonian shear thickening fluid whose viscosity increased with increasing shear rate when temperature was kept constant. Power law model for
non-
Newtonian fluid could fairly predict the viscosity of the fluid at certain shear rate. While measuring viscosity data with a rotary viscometer at fixed shear rate and temperature, the fluid viscosity showed a change in value with time for first 12-15 second of shear application and then obtained a constant value.
Pressure drop analysis showed that the friction factor of the silica suspension and the friction factor of water have no significant difference after a Reynolds number of 750. Before that, silica suspension has higher friction factor than that of water and the highest increase observed was 63%. Conventional correlation to predict the friction factor of single phase fluid can also be used in case of silica colloidal dispersion. As the diameter of the test section got smaller, the increase in the friction factor of silica dispersion enhanced compared to the friction factor of water.
There was no eminent difference between the heat transfer performance of silica suspension and water. Correlation that is used for water was found to be suitable for nanoparticle dispersion too. The highest value of Nusselt number for silica suspension and water was 17.54 and 13.42 respectively, when the fluids were circulated through the tube with the biggest diameter.

▼ Three-phase fluidizing beds have been widely used
for the catalytic hydrogenation, hydro-desulphurization of residual
oil, hydro-cracking, coal liquefaction, hydro-desulphurization of
petroleum fraction, absorption for flue gas etc. To develop the
correlations for the estimation of the minimum fluidization
velocity, liquid holdup and solid holdup separately by using
various Newtonian and non- Newtonian liquids in the three-phase
fluidized bed. Hence in this present research, an attempt has been
made to study the influence of the fundamental variables and
operating variables on the above mentioned parameters. The
experiments were carried out by using a Perspex column of 0.15 m
inner diameter and 1.8 m in height to study the hydrodynamic
characteristics of a three-phase fluidized bed. In the present
work, water, different concentrations of commercial grade glycerol
and laboratory grade glycerol, butyric acid, mono ethanol amine and
different concentrations of CMC, and eleven different particles
such as spheres, Raschig rings and Berl saddles were used. The
experimental minimum fluidization velocity data obtained were
analyzed for their dependency on the fundamental variables and
operating variables such as superficial velocities of gas and
liquid phase, physical properties of the phases and the dimension
of the particles. The present experimental data on minimum
fluidization velocity, involving 510 measurements were used for the
analysis. The proposed correlations for the prediction of minimum
fluidization velocity, liquid holdup and solid holdup were found to
be quite satisfactory for both the Newtonian and non-Newtonian

▼ In this research, pulsatile blood flow through a modeled arterial stenosis assuming
Newtonian and
non-
Newtonian viscous behavior is simulated using direct numerical simulation (DNS). A serial FORTRAN code has been parallelized using OpenMP to perform DNS based on available high performance shared memory parallel computing facilities. Numerical simulations have been conducted in the context of a channel with varying the degree of stenosis ranging from 50% to 75%. For the pulsatile flow studied, the Womersley number is set to 10.5 and Reynolds number varies from 500 to 2000, which are characteristic of human arterial blood flows. In the region upstream of the stenosis, the flow pattern is primarily laminar. Immediately after the stenosis, the
flow recirculates and an adverse streamwise pressure gradient exists near the walls and the flow becomes turbulent. In the region far downstream of the stenosis, the flow is re-laminarized for both
Newtonian and
non-
Newtonian flows.

▼ Since the beginning of microfluidics, the ability to control motion of particles in microchannels has always been fascinating. Microfluidic techniques such as dielectrophoresis, magnetophoresis rely on externally applied fields to separate particles while others like hydrophoresis and deterministic lateral displacement depend on low Reynolds number operation for particle manipulation. One of these techniques is inertial focusing of particles in microchannels. The particles and channel interact to cause lateral migration of particles to equilibrium positions within channel cross-section in flow regime where inertia and viscosity of fluid are finite. Inertial focusing has wide range of applications in fields of chemical synthesis, biological analysis, multiphase flows, cell biology and many more. This thesis presents the study of inertial focusing of particles in spiral microchannels. Particle focusing in curved channel depends on number of parameters such as channel cross section, curvature of channel, size and shape of particles and flow parameters like channel Reynolds number. Effect of some of above mentioned parameters on inertial focusing of particles have been discussed in detail in this thesis. Effect of curvature of channel on inertial focusing in spiral channels has been studied. Microchannels with square and rectangular cross-section are considered in this study. Study of hydrodynamic focusing of particles in
non-
Newtonian fluid in curved channel is performed. The results are compared with those obtained for inertial focusing of particles in
Newtonian fluids in spiral microchannel. The understanding of different factors influencing the particle behavior in spiral channels can be used to develop new and improved technologies in biomedical applications.

▼ Flume design for homogeneous non-Newtonian fluids is problematic and not much research has
been conducted in this field. This application is industrially important in mining where slurries
have to be transported to processing or disposal sites at higher concentrations because water is
becoming a scarce and expensive commodity. This thesis addresses the problem of flume design
and develops predictive models for the laminar, transitional and turbulent flow behaviour of
non-Newtonian fluids in rectangular open channels.
The relevant literature pertaining to Newtonian and non-Newtonian pipe and open channel flow
is reviewed and research aspects are identified.
A unique test facility was designed, constructed and commissioned for this project. The facility
includes a 5 m-long by 75 mm-wide rectangular tilting flume, as well as a 10 m by 300 mmwide
rectangular tilting flume that can be partitioned to form a 150 mm wide flume. The flumes
are in series with an in-line tube viscometer which has tubes of diameter 13, 28 and 80 mm. The
experimental investigation covers a wide range of widths (75 mm-300 mm), slopes (1º-5º), flow
rates (0.05 l/s-45 l/s), relative densities (1.0067-1.165), volumetric concentrations (0%-10%),
and yield stresses (0-21.3 Pa). The fluids tested are kaolin and bentonite slurries and CMC and
Carbopol polymer solutions. The resulting database of empirical flow behaviour enabled the
identification of the important flow behaviour characteristics.
Existing models are compared and evaluated using the experimental database compiled for this
thesis and it is concluded that no model exists to predict the database compiled for the various
materials from laminar flow through the transition region into turbulence.
For the correlation of laminar flow data, a Reynolds number was developed from the Reynolds
number proposed for pipe flow by Slatter (1994). Using this Reynolds number, all the laminar
flow data available was collapsed onto the 16/Re line on a standard Moody diagram.
Criteria were developed to predict the onset of transition and the onset of ‘full turbulence’.
These criteria are functions of the Froude and Reynolds number as well as the viscous
characteristics of the fluids. These models performed better than the methods proposed by Naik
(1983) and Coussot (1994), which were based on the Hanks criterion.
A turbulent flow model was developed based on the turbulent model presented by Slatter (1994)
for pipe flow. Flow predictions using this model were more accurate than those presented by
Torrance (1963), Naik (1983), Wilson and Thomas (1985), and Slatter (1994).
The new models were tested with the database compiled for this thesis as well as with two
published data sets, one by Naik (1983) and the other by Coussot (1994). The new flow models
predicted all the available data within acceptable limits, providing a basis for design.
A new and experimentally validated design protocol is presented for the design of rectangular
non-Newtonian open channel flow in laminar,…

▼ This study investigated water-in-oil (WIG) super-concentrated emulsions used as pumpable
explosives. The aqueous phase of the emulsions is a supersaturated nitrate salt solution (at
room temperature), with a volume fraction usually greater than 0.8. Aqueous phase droplets
are deformed by packing and contact with neighbouring droplets. Compounds of this kind are
thermodynamically unstable and their instability is related to the coarsening of emulsions
(droplet coalescence) and phase transition (crystallisation) in the dispersed phase. However,
it was demonstrated that the dominating mechanism is slow crystallisation inside the supercooled
droplets. The main goal of this thesis therefore concerned a phenomenological study
of the dependence of type and concentration of surfactant, as well as the ageing processes,
on the rheological properties of these emulsions. The bulk rheological measurements were carried out using a rotational dynamic rheometer
MCR 300 (Paar Physica). Samples of different types of surfactant (Pibsa-MEA, Pibsa-UREA,
Pibsa-IMIDE, SMO and SMO/Pibsa-MEA) and different concentrations of surfactants were
studied. The results of the measurements include the flow and viscoelastic properties of the
materials. The rheological parameters have been correlated with the kinetics of structural
changes during ageing as a function of emulsion formulation content. The emulsions under study were non-Newtonian liquids. It was demonstrated that different
surfactant types yield different interfacial properties. In fact, both the interfacial tension and the
interfacial elastic modulus were found to decrease according to the sequence MEA-UREAMEAlSMG-
IMIDE-SMG. It was established that the surfactant type and surfactant
concentration affected the bulk rheological properties of explosive emulsions. Indeed, both the
elastic modulus and the yield stress as function of surfactant type decreased in the following
order: MEA-IMIDE-UREA-MEAlSMG, whereas they also decreased as the surfactant
concentration increased. However the sensitivity of the rheological parameters to the type or
concentration of surfactant was found to decrease as the droplet size increased. Moreover, the
changes in rheological parameters were more strongly expressed than any changes in
interfacial tension. This last finding is considered as rather important. It seems reasonable to
assume that it provides proof of an active role of a surfactant not only as a compound
responsible for the interfacial tension, but also creating additional sources of elasticity.

▼ Particle distribution and settling in suspensions with
non-Newtonian liquids agi- tated with a Rushton turbine in a
lab-scale tank have been studied. The rheology of the non-Newtonian
liquids can be described by the power-law, Bingham and
Herschel-Bulkley fluid models. The dynamics of the dispersed phase
– settling particles (size 0.65mm) is modeled by a Lagrangian
tracking approach while the liquid phase is resolved by the
lattice-Boltzmann method. Qualitative insight emerging from
exploration of shear-thinning/thickening, New- tonian, yield-stress
fluid models at Reynolds number, Re=6 × 103 , 8.5 × 103 and 1.25 ×
104 indicate that bottom particle concentration is highest in
power-law liq- uids than in Newtonian; while yield stress fluids
had more uniform particle con- centration and least bottom
concentration. Also, turbulent kinetic energy and vis- cous
dissipation are highest in the Newtonian liquid. Extra viscous
diffusion due to fluctuating non-Newtonian viscosity in the
turbulent kinetic energy equation attributes to these
differences.

▼ The rheological properties of heavy oil and bitumen
depend on factors such as temperature, pressure, diluent type and
diluent composition, as well as sample shear and thermal histories
and shear conditions during measurements. Each of these factors can
affect the value of apparent viscosity significantly. Uncertainties
in the available literature data arise when one or more of these
factors have not been considered and have not been reported. Heavy
oil and bitumen exhibit non-Newtonian rheological behaviors at
lower temperatures. Methods for detecting and quantifying
non-Newtonian behaviors are developed, presented and explored in
this work using a well-characterized heavy crude oil. The methods
and results presented for Maya crude oil provide a reliable
database for rheological model development and evaluation, and a
template for assessing the rheological behavior of other heavy
crude oils. The thixotropic behavior of Maya crude oil was explored
systematically using a stress-controlled rheometer. Thixotropy
affects the efficiency and length scale of mixing during blending
operations, and flow behaviors in pipes and pipelines following
flow disruption where it affects the pressure required to
reinitiate flow. Maya crude oil is shown to be a shear thinning
fluid below 313 K. The thixotropic behaviors are explored using
transient stress techniques (hysteresis loops, step-wise change in
shear rate, start-up experiments). The magnitude of the thixotropy
effect is larger at lower temperatures. Relationships are
identified between rest times and other thixotropic parameters such
as hysteresis loop area and stress decay in start-up experiments.
Stress growth, which occurs as a result of a step-down in shear
rate, is shown to correlate with temperature. The interrelation
between rheological behavior of Maya crude oil and its phase
behavior is discussed. The effect of pressure on the non-Newtonian
rheological properties of Maya crude oil is also investigated over
broad ranges of temperature from (258 to 333) K and at pressures up
to 150 bar. At fixed temperature, the magnitude of the
non-Newtonian behaviors of Maya crude oil appears to increase with
increasing the pressure and shear thinning is shown to persist to
higher pressures below 313 K. Boundaries of the non-Newtonian
region with respect to temperature, pressure and viscosity are
identified and discussed. The thixotropic behavior of Maya crude
oil is also shown to persist at higher pressure and the recovery of
the moduli at rest appears to be faster at elevated pressures than
at atmospheric pressure. Understanding the rheological properties
of mixtures of heavy oil or bitumen and diluents, specifically at
low temperatures, is key in designing different processes employed
in production or transportation of these resources reliably and
efficiently. The effect of diluents (n-heptane, toluene and toluene
+ butanone (50/50 vol. %)) on the non-Newtonian behavior of Maya
crude oil including shear thinning and thixotropy at temperatures
from (258 to 333) K are discussed.…

▼ Abrasive finishing is a machining process which alters the surface of a workpiece to achieve a specific property. Typical abrasive finishing processes focus on geometric tolerances and surface topography. Abrasive finishing is primarily dependent on finishing forces, relative velocities, and abrasive size. The material removal rate in finishing is inversely related to the surface finish. Magnetic and electric fields have been used to control the force applied to abrasives which finish the workpiece. These processes show an increase in performance when the field is used to control the process. Field assisted finishing processes can be energy intensive and expensive. A novel finishing media is proposed which does not require a field to achieve a similar force response. This media has inherent thickening mechanisms driven by shear jamming. This shear jamming mechanism can deliver forces an order of magnitude higher than shear thickening mechanisms. This novel slurry is demonstrated as a viable finishing media with performance similar to magnetic abrasive finishing.

▼ Heavy and extra heavy oil are fluids with high ranges of viscosity at both reservoir and surface conditions. These fluids have complex production processes due to factors such as high sulfide content, carbon dioxide (or other fluid injection reactions), flow assurance, and water breakthrough. The rheological properties of heavy and extra heavy oil modify the fluid in such a manner that these fluids cannot be treated as traditional
Newtonian fluids. The behavior of such fluids is well documented in the petroleum industry and serves as the motivation for this work.
This work develops and presents a new reservoir model which accounts for the behavior of a
non-
Newtonian fluid within a double porosity reservoir. We propose a new interporosity function for "pseudosteady-state" flow with
non-
Newtonian phenomena. The
non-
Newtonian fluid type that we have chosen to use in this work is the "pseudoplastic" plastic fluid type.
We review and adopt certain aspects from the prior studies that have been performed to describe the behavior of a
non-
Newtonian fluid through porous media in a homogeneous reservoir system. We also provide an extensive literature review on this topic and the behavior of "double porosity" (or "naturally fractured") reservoir systems. In this work we only consider the classic case of "pseudosteady-state" interporosity flow introduced by Warren and Root as this represents the "base" case (or starting point).
Specifically, in this work, we derive the partial differential equation for
non-
Newtonian flow within a double porosity reservoir under pseudosteady-state interporosity transfer conditions. All solutions assume the "constant rate" inner boundary condition, the outer boundary conditions used in this work include the infinite-acting reservoir, circular reservoir with a "no flow" outer boundary, circular reservoir with a "constant pressure" outer boundary. "Type curve" plots are provided to illustrate the behavior of the dimensionless pressure and dimensionless pressure derivative behavior as a function of dimensionless time.
Illustrative examples are provided using synthetic cases. In these examples the entire workflow is illustrated, including diagnostic identification and radial flow analyses.

▼ This study aims to improve the predictive capabilities of flow pattern and depositional behaviour of non-Newtonian, high concentration sand and fines mixtures. The depositional behaviour influences the geometry of the deposit and the distribution of sand and fines particles, which in turn influence the strength and consolidation performance of the deposit. Ultimately this affects the area reclamation targets from the mining industry. In this study an existing numerical model, Delft3D (a three-dimensional, open source flow model from Deltares utilized world-wide in various hydrodynamic and sediment transport studies), is extended with the physics that describe non-Newtonian rheology and sand settling in shear flow. The rheology determines the yield stress and viscosity of a fluid. Shear induced sand settling occurs for fluids with a yield stress. Sand settles under shear whereas smaller particles stay suspended, producing segregation. Segregation leads to non-uniformity in deposit composition (e.g sand and fines dominated areas). Rheology and sand settling mutually interact, directly influencing deposition patterns. This study is a continuation of the work of [Hanssen, 2016], who included specific rheology and sand settling formulation in a one-dimensional version of Delft3D (i.e. 1DV). As part of this work, further verification of this one-dimensional model has been performed and the model has been extended to two-dimensional vertical (i.e. 2DV in a longitudinal cross section). The extended model has been tested in 2DV with deposition over a 400 meters slope. A sensitivity analysis is performed to consider the effect of different solid contents and rheological properties. The model is also tested on specific oil sand applications and data, such as tailings deposition down a beach, mutual interaction of tailings with different rheology or strength and a characterization of fines capture compared with data. This study proved that the extended version of Delft3D can simulate a 2DV non-Newtonian high density flow including sand settling. However there are still some physical processes where the model needs improvements or further research is needed, such as laminar-turbulence regime; transition to 3D and the motion of sand layers. Further model verification and development goes hands in hands with a good data set. Specifically important are flume/field tests with rheology data and its variation with time, especially for polymer added tailings, to verify the model.

▼ One of the biggest uncertainties affecting the operations of mine and land reclamation activities is related to tailings / slurry management, for which the processes of beach deposition play a critical role. Deposited tailings produce both sheet and channelised flow, causing varying velocity profiles which lead to differential settlement. This is impacting slurry management operations (e.g. fines capture, capacity of a storage facility) as well as the mine closure and/or reclamation planning (e.g. strength of the deposit, differential consolidation, total settlement and reclamation topography). Even though critical, little is known about the physics of
non-
Newtonian slurry flow over beaches. In order to improve this knowledge, Deltares initiated a research program. This program starts with large scale experiments, aiming to mimic and understand the flow behavior observed in practice. This study is based on the large scale experiments at Deltares and consists of a literature survey, experiments and numerical modeling. In the experiments a mixture of clay, silt, sand and salty water is discharged over a 2% slope in which the composition is varying during the experiments. In the subsequent experiments water is added to the initial mixture causing a decrease in strength. Along with decreasing strength, the flow behavior changes from robust sheet flow to more dynamic channel flow. The change in flow behavior corresponds to a change in observed surface shear-profile. During (slow) sheet-flow, perpendicular and abrubt shear planes are observed wheras smooth and parabolic shear planes were observed during (fast) channel flow. Accompanying the change of strength, flow behaviour and shear mechanism, a shift from
non-segregating to segregating slurry is observed. A hypothesis formulated in this thesis states that the observed surface shear profile is similar to the vertical shear profile, this could explain why the slurry is segregating or not. Rheology measurements were conducted with mixture used in the flume experiments. The measurements reveal rheopectic behavior with cumulative shear, after a certain time (added shear) the rheology reaches an equilibrium state (i.e. constant flowcurve). From these measurements an empirical function was developed relating the flow-curve to the mixture composition. Shear stress calculations based on these rheology measurements in combination with observations show a great agreement with the equilibrium bottom shear stress during the last part of the experiments. However during the first part the dynamic shear stress was exceeding the equilibrium bottom shear stress of the inclined flow, this is most likely caused by the developing rheology which was not yet at the equilibrium flow curve in the beginning of the experiments. After channel formation, cores were taken in both flowing and stagnant (or very slow flowing) parts. These cores were analysed on water content and particle size distribution. In addition vane (strength) measurements were conducted at nearby locations. A comparison between…

▼ Droplet splatter dynamics is an important study in the field of forensics since a crime
event can produce many blood stains. Understanding the origins of the blood stains
from pure observations is very difficult because much of the information about the
impact is lost. A theoretical model is therefore needed to better understand the dynamics
of droplet impact and splatter. We chose to explore a fluid modelling method
known as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) to determine whether it is capable
of modelling droplet splatter accurately. Specifically, we chose to investigate an SPH
version of a
non-
Newtonian pressure correction method with surface tension. Three
experiments were performed to analyze the different aspects of SPH. From the results
of the experiments, we concluded that this method can produce stable simulations if
an artificial viscosity model is included, a third-order polynomial kernel is used and
the pressure boundary condition on surface particles are
non-zero.

▼ A yield-stress fluid behaves effectively as a solid for stresses below a critical threshold. Examples include soap foam, peanut butter, aloe gel, and sand – materials that can hold their shape under their own weight, but which can be reversibly reshaped by external forces. Notably, yield-stress fluids are capable of suspending macroscopic particles much larger than the size of a fluid structural element, preventing the particles from either rising with buoyancy or sinking due to their weight. Of course, these particles can be put in motion by stirring the fluid, but there are other means by which the particles can be displaced.
We focus on two complex flow scenarios in which initially suspended density-mismatched particles are set in motion by external conditions. In the first, the motion of air bubbles in fresh concrete is considered. Simple model materials, a well-studied yield-stress fluid (Carbopol in water) and a granular medium (millimetric glass beads in silicone oil), are compared to fresh concrete in lab-scale vibration experiments and rheology measurements. The granular medium demonstrates the same fluidization phenomenon as the fresh concrete in response to vibration, suggesting granular force-chain dynamics can rationalize the effect of vibration on concrete. This understanding is used to explain the mechanism of air bubble motion during vibration. More fundamental questions are raised, however, since both Carbopol and the granular medium are jammed, repulsive systems characterized as soft glassy materials – systems of disordered, metastable particles unified under a common rheological behavior. Two parameters are proposed to distinguish granular materials, and the use of these parameters is demonstrated with the model materials.
In a second study, an isolated particle in a nongranular yield-stress fluid whose container is
subject to abrupt accelerations is considered. Through careful choice of fluid properties and acceleration forcing function, counterintuitive behaviors are experimentally observed: sinking air bubbles and rising steel spheres. This phenomenon is rationalized with theory, but new considerations are necessary for a quantitative analysis. A modification to a suspension criterion found in the literature is proposed to account for rigid-body accelerations, and its viability is tested in a novel experiment. Additionally, the yield stress measurement for this scenario is reconsidered: Is the steady-state rheology necessarily relevant to a flow occurring on a timescale of hundredths of seconds? Using a new interpretation of the input conditions in strain-controlled rheological tests, transient rheology measurements are made that are more emblematic of the flow conditions seen in the sinking bubble phenomenon. It is demonstrated that the yield stress can be a function of the deformation timescale of the flow, and when this transient yield stress is factored into the modified suspension criterion, the critical value observed during the sinking bubble phenomenon is placed into agreement…

▼ The aim of this thesis was to understand how a
non-
Newtonian fluid like chocolate fluidises under vibration. The
problem was approached both experimentally and computationally,
employing the finite element method as implemented in oomph-lib. In
order to model a
non-
Newtonian fluid its constitutive behaviour has
to be known. For this purpose, rheological measurements on tempered
chocolate were performed. The chocolate was modelled using
generalised
Newtonian models for the viscosity and it was found
that the Sisko model provided the best fit to the data. The
generalised
Newtonian Navier-Stokes equations were implemented
within oomph-lib and their validation against analytical solutions
yielded excellent agreement. Both the experiments and the
computations for a sessile drop of chocolate, which is vibrated
vertically, spreading on a layer of the same fluid yielded
qualitatively similar results. The parameter which controls the
spreading is the acceleration arising from the vibration. The drop
rests on the layer and does not spread under gravity and small
accelerations. However, as the acceleration increases and exceeds a
threshold the drop starts to spread out. For a constant amplitude
vibration, the spreading rate increases with increasing frequency
and for large frequencies approaches a theoretical spreading law
which corresponds to viscous dominated spreading of a
Newtonian
drop.

▼ Simulations were performed to study the 2-D hydrodynamic focusing phenomena in a microflow cytometer. The hydrodynamic focusing phenomenon was studied by varying the velocities of both the sample and the sheath flows flowing through the center and the outer channel of a microflow cytometer. The geometries studied include both 2D and axisymmetric ones. Velocity ratios (velocity of sheath to sample flow ratio) were varied from 5 to 70 and the results include the change in the focusing width. Discrete phase model (DPM) of ANSYS FLUENT was used to inject particles with different sizes along the sample flow and their trajectories were tracked. The focusing characteristic of
non-
Newtonian fluids in comparison with
Newtonian fluids was also studied. The predicted focusing widths tend to decrease with the increase in the velocity ratio. A focusing width less than 10 m can be achieved by increasing the velocity ratio to 70. It is also observed that the focusing ratio is the function of flow rate ratio and depends on the geometry of the sample flow. The trajectory of the particles in the cytometer is tracked and the results confirm the hydrodynamic focusing of the sample flow as the particles moved in a single file in the horizontal X-Y plane toward the detection region. The focusing width was calculated for velocity ratios of 5, 15, and 70 for both
non-

▼ This experimental investigation examined the inflow to
a producer well geometry found in a typical steam assisted gravity
drainage (SAGD) process. The flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian
fluid through mini-channels (Dh = 0.837 µm) and micro-scale
orifices (keystone slots, Dh = 0.858 µm) were considered. The major
goal was to describe the velocity distribution and this was
undertaken using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The velocity
profile determined for the flow through the long channel was used
to find the rheological parameters of the fluid. Theory of the
rheology of non-Newtonian fluids along with PIV measurements were
used to find the flow index, n, and flow consistency index, k.
These where validated against commercial rheometer. It was shown
that measuring the velocity distribution of a non-Newtonian fluid
can be used to identify rheological property of the fluid. The
second set of experiments considered the flow of Newtonian (water),
and non-Newtonian (polyacrylamide) fluids to study the respective
velocity profiles using PIV. The results showed that an increase in
slot angle, θ, increased the gradient at which the velocity reduced
along the channel. At low flow rates, the increase in slot angle
(θ≥ 6°) caused a flow separation phenomenon which was only present
for the Newtonian fluid. Comparison with theory showed that the
Newtonian flow profiles found from experiment matched well while
for the non-Newtonian fluid the profiles deviated from expected.
This was a result of the contraction-expansion geometry which
increased the shear rate giving the fluid a pseudo-Newtonian-like
behavior.

▼ The target of this research is to computationally analyze deoxygenated blood flows passing through a multi-fiber bundle that releases oxygen to blood. The effect of pulsatile flow on the oxygen transport in blood is investigated. Dimensionless parameters for the physical model include Reynolds numbers (Re), Womersley parameters (α), pulsation amplitudes (A). The power law model is used to describe the
non-
Newtonian flow and the Hill equation is employed to simulate the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. It is observed that flow pulsation significantly influences the velocity profile, partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), saturation of oxygen (SO2) and Sherwood numbers, in blood flows along a fiber bundle region. As blood flows into fiber bundle region, the downstream sinusoidal profiles of O2 partial show the phase lag with respect to that at the entrance. The variations of SO2 and PO2 boundary layers are documented. Finally, the mixing length where PO2 achieves 100 mmHg is determined against different Reynolds numbers.

Non-Newtonian losses through diaphragm valves

▼ The prediction of head losses in a pipe system is very important because head losses
affect the performance of fluid machinery such as pumps. In a pipe system, two kinds of
losses are observed: major losses and minor losses. In Newtonian and non-Newtonian
flow, major losses are those that are due to friction in straight pipes and minor losses are
those that are due to pipe fittings such as contractions, expansions, bends and valves.
Minor losses must be accurately predicted in a pipe system because they are not
negligible and can sometimes outweigh major losses (Edwards et al., 1985). There is
presently little data for the prediction of non-Newtonian head losses in pipe fittings in the
literature and little consensus amongst researchers (Pienaar et al., 2004).
In the case of diaphragm valves, usually, only one loss coefficient value is given in
turbulent flow or in laminar flow with no reference to a specific size of the valve,
assuming geometrical similarity that would lead to dynamic similarity. However, no one
has done a systematic study of various sizes of diaphragm valves from the same
manufacturer to establish if this is true. This could be the main reason for discrepancies
found in the literature (Hooper, 1981; Perry & Chilton, 1973; Miller, 1978 and Pienaar et
al., 2004). This work addresses this issue.
A literature revIew on the flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids has been
presented. The work of Hooper (1981) on diaphragm valves and the works of Edwards et
al., (1985), BaneIjee et aI., (1994) and Turian et al., (1997) for non-Newtonian fluids in
globe and gate valves were found to be relevant to this work.

▼ The prediction of the energy losses when designing pipeline and pumping systems requires
accurate loss coefficient data. But the loss coefficient data found in the open literature was not
adequate for predicting the loss coefficient for Saunders straight-through diaphragm valves.
As more accurate loss coefficient data to enable more efficient pipeline designs are scarce in
the open literature, it is problematic to predict the head loss due to the pipeline fittings, and
particularly for diaphragm valves. Most of the data given in the literature are for turbulent flow
based on water. Due to water shortages mining operations are forced to increase their solids
concentrations and to operate in laminar flow (Slatter, 2002). Consequently there is a need to
determine loss coefficient data in laminar flow for valves used in these industries to ensure
energy efficient designs (Pienaar et al., 2001; 2004) or if needed, to derive a new correlation to
predict losses through Saunders diaphragm valves.
However, a systematic study of various sizes of diaphragm valves of different manufacturers to
ascertain, if the same loss coefficient can be applied, has never been done. Therefore a
comparison will be made between the data produced in this work and the existing correlations.
The objective of this research was to determine loss coefficient data in laminar, transitional and
turbulent flow for the Saunders type straight-through diaphragm valves ranging from 40 mm to
100 mm in the fully open, 75 %, 50 % and 25 % open positions, using a range of Newtonian and
non-Newtonian fluids. The test work was conducted on the valve test rig in the Flow Process
Research Centre at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
This work investigated only Newtonian and time independent homogeneous non-Newtonian
fluids or slurries flowing through Saunders straight-through diaphragm valves in the turbulent,
transitional and laminar regimes.
Weir-type Saunders valves and time-dependent fluid behaviour were not investigated in this
study.
Preamble
Non-Newtonian Loss Coefficients for Saunders Diaphragm Valves A Mume Kabwe
The results for each test are presented in the form of valve loss coefficient (kvalve) against
Reynolds number (Re).
This thesis adds new loss coefficient data to the open literature, and a new correlation, which
will be useful for designing pipelines in industries, as well as contributing to the academic
debate in this discipline.

▼ Notches, particularly rectangular and V shaped are the cheapest and most common devices used to measure the flow rate of water in open channels. However, they have not been used to measure the flow rate of non-Newtonian fluids. These viscous fluids behave differently from water. It is difficult to predict the flow rate of such fluids during transportation in open channels due to their complex viscous properties. The aim of this work was to explore the possibility of extending the application of especially rectangular and V-shaped notches to non-Newtonian fluids. The tests reported in this document were carried out in the Flow Process and Rheology Centre laboratory. Notches fitted to the entrance of a 10 m flume and an in-line tube viscometer were calibrated using water. The in-line tube viscometer with 13 and 28 mm diameter tubes was used to determine the fluid rheology. Flow depth was determined using digital depth gauges and flow rate measurements using magnetic flow meters. Three different non-Newtonian fluids, namely, aqueous solutions of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) and water-based suspensions of kaolin and bentonite were used as model non-Newtonian test fluids. From these the coefficient of discharge (Cd) values and appropriate non-Newtonian Reynolds numbers for each fluid and concentration were calculated. The experimental values of the coefficient of discharge (Cd) were plotted against three different definitions of the Reynolds number. Under laminar flow conditions, the discharge coefficient exhibited a typical dependence on the Reynolds number with slopes of ~0.43-0.44 for rectangular and V notches respectively. The discharge coefficient was nearly constant in the turbulent flow regime. Single composite power-law functions were used to correlate the Cd-Re relationship for each of the two notch shapes used. Using these correlations, the Cd values could be predicted to within ±5% for the rectangular and V notches. This is the first time that such a prediction has been done for a range of non-Newtonian fluids through sharp crested notches. The research will benefit the mining and food processing industries where high concentrations of non-Newtonian fluids are transported to either disposal sites or during processing.
