Fluid Mechanics of Viscoplasticity
Huilgol, Raja R. / Georgiou, Georgios C.
This book considers the kinematics and dynamics of the flows of fluids exhibiting a yield stress. Continuum mechanics governing the fluid mechanics is described. Two chapters are dedicated to analytical solutions to several steady and unsteady flows of viscoplastic fluids, including flows with pressure-dependent rheological parameters.Perturbation methods, variational inequalities to solve fluid flow problems, and the use of energy methods are...
