Effects of the Non-Newtonian Rheology on the Fluid-Structure Interactions in Biological Flows
Fluid-structure interactions (FSIs) in non-Newtonian fluid flows are found in many industrial processes and biological systems, and the non-Newtonian rheology has significant effects on FSIs. However, it is a challenge to model FSIs involving non-Newtonian flows due to their complex …

Variable Viscosity Thermal Convection at Infinite Prandtl Number in a Thick Spherical Shell
… numbers between 10$\sp5$ and 10$\sp6$ with both Newtonian and non-Newtonian viscosity which can be dependent on temperature and pressure (depth). Linear downwellings and diffuse plume-like upwellings are dominant features in the numerical calculations. When Newtonian rheology is applied …

Non-Newtonian effects and Taylor-Aris despersion in rivulet flow
… flow of rivulets of fluid, namely the effects of non-Newtonian rheology, and the transport of a passive solute in a rivulet of Newtonian fluid. In Chapters 2-4 we consider rivulet flow of non-Newtonian fluids. Firstly, we obtain the solution for unidirectional gravity-driven flow of a uniform thin …

Three-Dimensional Spherical Modeling of the Mantles of Mars and Ceres: Inference from Geoid, Topography and Melt History
… the production of melt in the mantle for a Newtonian rheology, and compare it with the melt needed to create Tharsis. In addition to the melt production, I analyze the 3D structure of the mantle for a stagnant lithosphere. I vary different parameters in the Martian mantle to understand the …

Some geological implications of the flow of clay-water mixtures
… a series of eruption cycles which depend on the non-Newtonian rheology of the clay. In contrast, if this pressure is smaller than the yield stress of the clay, a series of episodic gas burst events can occur until the conduit is cleared of mud. The third problem relates to the mixing in a …

Dead-end and crossflow microfiltration of yeast and bentonite suspensions: experimental and modelling studies incorporating the use of artificial neural networks
… (a clay which forms an aqueous suspension with non-Newtonian rheology), based on eliminating the use of the time series explicitly as an input to the network. This approach reduces the size and complexity of network necessary for correlation and prediction of time series data, thus reducing …

Propagation of fluid driven fractures in transversely isotropic material
… a large number of fluids used in HF are non-Newtonian. They typically exhibit a shear-thinning behavior which can be reproduced by different rheological models with varying levels of accuracy (Carreau, power law, Ellis). In this thesis, we focus on hydraulic fractures in impermeable TI …
