Numerical investigation of non-Newtonian inelastic flows through conical nozzles

Abstract

The numerical analysis for the incompressible power-low inelastic fluid is described in this work. To characterize the fluid's motion, a mass conservation equation and momentum conservation equation are used. The investigation was carried out numerically using a Taylor Galerkin-pressure correction (TG- PC) method. The contrast of Newtonian findings with shear-thinning inelastic is highlighted. The convergence of solution components is examined under the variation of Reynolds number (Re) and the parameters of power-low inelastic model (PLIM). The results show that the inelastic factors have a considerable influence on the level of temporal convergence rates of velocity, while there is minor change in the level of pressure convergence.
