[CFD] Non-Newtonian Flows in CFD

A comprehensive introduction to the theory and implementation of Non-Newtonian fluid models in CFD. These models are adopted by all the major CFD codes (OpenFOAM, Fluent, CFX, Star etc.)The following topics are covered: 1) 3:28 How do CFD codes model Non-Newtonian flow? 2) 11:39 Why is special treatment required for fluids with a yield stress? 3) 15:54 What if the flow is locally Non-Newtonian in some areas of the mesh? #nonNewtonianFlow #fluidmechanics101 #yieldStress ============================================ Want to learn more? ============================================ Grab a copy of my CFD Fundamentals Course (for beginners): https://www.udemy.com/course/computat...
