We study the flow of a shear-thinning, chemically-reacting fluid that could be used to model the flow of the synovial fluid. The actual geometry where the flow of the synovial fluid takes place is very complicated, and therefore the…
This paper revisits the origin of topology optimisation for fluid flow problems, namely the Poiseuille-based frictional resistance term used to parametrise regions of solid and fluid. The traditional model only works for true topology…

Two, the most simple cases of special-relativistic flows of a viscous, incompressible fluid are considered: plane Couette flow and plane Poiseuille flow. Considering only the regular motion of the fluid we found the distribution of velocity…

The unsteady Poiseuille flow of Carreau-Yasuda fluid in a pipe, caused by a variable pressure gradient, is studied theoretically. In a particular case, the steady flow is considered separately. It is proved that at some values of the…
It is well known that the Poiseuille flow of a visco-elastic polymer fluid between plates or through a tube is linearly stable in the zero Reynolds number limit, although the stability is weak for large Weissenberg numbers. In this paper we…
