A high resolution scheme with improved iterative convergence properties was devised by incorporating total-variation diminishing constraints, appropriate for unsteady problems, into an implicit… (More)
Analytical expressions are derived for the velocity vector, the stress components and the viscosity function in fully developed channel and pipe flow of Phan-Thien– Tanner (PTT) fluids; both the… (More)
This paper reports the development and application of a finite-volume based methodology for the calculation of the flow of fluids which follow differential viscoelastic constitutive models. The… (More)

Based on a generalised Newtonian fluid (GNF) model, modified to account for strain-thickening of the extensional viscosity, this paper derives transport equations for mass, momentum, Reynolds… (More)
We study the flow of a Newtonian fluid through microfabricated hyperbolic contractions followed by a sudden expansion, with the aim of investigating the potential of this geometry to serve as an… (More)
An experimental study on the flow of non-Newtonian fluids around a cylinder was undertaken to identify and delimit the various shedding flow regimes as a function of adequate non-dimensional numbers.… (More)
A finite-volume (FV) procedure is applied to the prediction of two-dimensional (2-D) laminar flow through a 4 : 1 planar contraction of upper convected Maxwell (UCM) and simplified Phan-Thien±Tanner… (More)
A miniaturised fibre optic Laser-Doppler anemometer was used to carry out a detailed hydrodynamic investigation of the flow downstream of a sudden expansion with 0.1—0.2% by weight shear-thinning… (More)
A detailed experimental study on the flow characteristics of various vortex shedding regimes was carried out for the flow of non-Newtonian fluids around a cylinder. The fluids were aqueous solutions… (More)
Detailed mean velocity, normal Reynolds stress and pressure drop measurements were carried out with 0.4 to 0.6% by weight aqueous solutions of Tylose, a methylhydroxil cellulose of molecular weight… (More)
