On the Complex Flow Dynamics of Shear Thickening Fluids Entry Flows by Miguel Montenegro, Francisco J. Galindo-Rosales

“…It is well-known for Newtonian fluid that the entrance flow is responsible for a non-negligible percentage of the total pressure drop in the fluid; therefore, an analysis of the fluid flow at the entry region for STFs is of paramount importance for an accurate design of the Rheinforce composites. This analysis has been numerically performed before for shear-thickening fluids modeled by a power-law model; however, as this constitutive model represents a continuously growing viscosity between end-viscosity plateau values, it is not representative of the characteristic viscosity curve of shear-thickening fluids, which typically exhibit a three-region shape (thinning-thickening-thinning). …”
