Non-Newtonian Flow—The Power Law and the Carreau Model

The viscous stress tensor is directly dependent of the shear rate tensor and can be written as:

u I

using the compressible and incompressible formulation respectively. Here · denotes the engineering strain-rate tensor defined by:

· = u + u T

Its magnitude, the shear rate, is:

For a non-Newtonian fluid, the dynamic viscosity is assumed to be a function of the shear rate

The Laminar Flow interfaces have these predefined models to prescribe a non-Newtonian viscosity—the power law and the Carreau model.

The power law is an example of a generalized Newtonian model. It prescribes

= m· n – 1

(4-4)

where m and n are scalars that can be set to arbitrary values.

For n 1, the power law describes a shear thickening (pseudoplastic) fluid. For n 1, it describes a shear thinning (dilatant) fluid. A value of n equal to one gives the expression for a Newtonian fluid.

The Carreau expression gives the viscosity by the following four-parameter equation
