SOME RECENT RESULTS ON THE FLOW OF NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS

A number of results are given concerning the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in the annular region between cylinders of different radii with parallel, but non-coincident, axes. Where relevant, inertial effects arising in such flows are discussed. The flows considered include those resulting from the steady longitudinal motion of one cylinder relative to the other, the rotaion of one or both of the cylinders with constant angular velocities, flow under a uniform longitudinal pressure gradient, and certain combinations of these. The effect of vibration on certain viscometric flows of non-Newtonian fluids are discussed. © 1979.
