Modelling of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Incompressible Fluid Flow

This paper deals with numerical simulation of steady laminar incompressible Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid flow. The viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid is modelled using the fluid power law. The mathematical model is described by the non-linear conservative system of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations that is solved using the explicit two-step MacCormack scheme with artificial viscosity together with the pseudo-compressibility method. The spatial discretization is performed by the cell-centred finite volume method on a structured quadrilateral grid. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
