Investigations into Swirling Flows of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids

Abstract

Work carried out under this grant has involved the study of the following problems: (1) Flow on non-Newtonian fluids of the rate type between two parallel plates rotating with different angular speeds about a common axis. (2) Flow of non-Newtonian fluids of the integral type between parallel plates rotating about distinct axes. (3) Flow of non-Newtonian fluids due to torsional and longitudinal oscillations. (4) Flow of non-Newtonian fluids in pipes of varying cross-sections. (5) Flow of shear thinning fluid between intersecting planes.
