An experimental investigation of the flow of non-Newtonian fluids between rotating disks Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The results of an experimental investigation on the flow of a non-Newtonian fluid between rotating, parallel disks are described in this paper. These results are qualitatively different from those exhibited by linearly viscous fluids in that a narrow layer of exceedingly high velocity gradients appears in the non-Newtonian fluid.
