Numerical solution of Newtonian flow in bypass and non-Newtonian flow in branching channels. (English). In: Chleboun, J., Segeth, K. and Vejchodský, T. (eds.): Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics. Proceedings of Seminar. Prague, May 28-31, 2006. Institute of Mathematics AS CR, Prague, 2006. pp. 137-142
Summary:
This paper deals with the numerical solution of Newtonian and non-Newtonian flows. The flows are supposed to be laminar, viscous, incompressible and steady. The model used for non-Newtonian fluids is a variant of the power-law. Governing equations in this model are incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. For numerical solution we could use artificial compressibility method with three stage Runge-Kutta method and finite volume method in cell centered formulation for discretization of space derivatives. The following cases of flows are solved: flow through a bypass connected to main channel in 2D and 3D and non-Newtonian flow through branching channels in 2D. Some 2D and 3D results that could have an application in the area of biomedicine are presented.
