Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are
encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of …

In this work, we present numerical solutions to the benchmark flow past a sphere problem
considering the rheology of semi-diluted and concentrated wormlike micellar viscoelastic …

A phenomenological constitutive model that accounts for thixotropy, viscoelasticity and
yielding behavior is presented. It uses the fluidity to specify the microscopic state. The model …

Flow and mixing characteristics of a thixotropic fluid in a static mixer were numerically
investigated in this study. We selected a barrier-embedded partitioned pipe mixer (BPPM) as …

The so-called avalanche effect is one of the fingerprints of thixotropic materials. This self-
reinforcing process where the decrease in viscosity, due to a rejuvenation process triggered …

In the present work, we present an approach to handle transient flows of elasto-viscoplastic
thixotropic (EVPT) materials under the action of the gravity force field and subjected to free …

In this work, a numerical model is carried out to investigate the magneto-hemodynamics of
blood driven by an oscillating pressure gradient and exposed to a uniform magnetic field …

The non-homogeneous flow of a thixotropic fluid around a settling sphere is simulated. A
four-parameter Moore model is used for a generic thixotropic fluid and discontinuous …

This study is concerned with finite element/volume modelling of contraction–expansion
axisymmetric pipe flows for thixotropic and non-thixotropic viscoelastic models. To obtain …

This work presents a numerical technique for simulating non-Newtonian blood flow in
human's arteries driven by an oscillating pressure gradient. The blood is considered as a …
