The Effect of Shear-Thinning Rheology on the Dynamics and Pressure Distribution of a Single Rigid Ellipsoidal Particle in Viscous Fluid Flow

Aigbe Awenlimobor, Douglas E. Smith

This paper evaluates the behavior of a single rigid ellipsoidal particle suspended in homogenous viscous flow with a power-law Generalized Newtonian Fluid (GNF) rheology using a cu…
