摘要
We present a LB study of the flow of single-phase non-Newtonian fluids, using a power law relationship between the effective viscosity and the local shear rate. Channel flow experiments were carried out to measure the velocity profiles. The simulation results are found to be in good agreement with theory. We also report simulations of the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in a 2-D porous medium.
