<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Tubois<br><br></div><div>I can give you some background which may help..<br><br></div>The power law model specifies the visosity as power law in an effective scalar shear rate gamma* so the viscous stress tau is given by<br>
</div>tau= eta(gamma*) x gamma where gamma is the tensor dvi/dxj + d vj /dxi <br> <br></div>and gamma* is sqrt(1/2 gamma::gamma) where :: means two consecutive dot products of the gamma tensor <br>and the function eta for the power law model is eta= m * (gamma*)^n-1 where m and n are material parameters <br>
</div>you can start with ket sat n=1/3 or 1/2....etc and the newtonian fluid limit is n=1<br><br></div>for the case of axisymmetric pipe flow vz=f(r) where z is the flow direction and r is the radius ( v_theta=vr=0) <br>
</div><br></div>it can be shown that the scalar shear rate gamma*= - d vz /d r and that the only stress component is tau_rz and is given by<br></div><br>tau_rz=-m*(- d vz /dr ) ^ n-1 * d vz/dr = -m* (-d vz /dr )^n<br><br>
</div><div>note that gamma tensor has only one non zero component<br></div><div>gamma = dvz /d r * [ 0 0 1 ; 0 0 0; 0 0 0] <br><br></div>the analytical solution is <br></div>vz= (n/n+1) * ( (Po-PL)*R / (2*m*L) )^(1/n) *R* [1- (r/R)]^-(n+1)/n<br>

<div><br></div><div>In the example, there is a var_vis case. I looked into the st2.usr and I do not understand which models is about. Is it to calculate \nu (\nabla^ u)^2 for the diffusion term? Can someone give a detailed discription for this case? </div>
<div><br></div><div>I would like to implement a power-law fluid model. There exists an analytical solution in the case of circular pipe so it can be compared with. see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-law_fluid" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-law_fluid</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>If some already implemented this kind of fluids, could you share some sources? Or give a guideline, which subroutine to see. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much!</div><div><br></div><div>Tubois</div>
