Unsteady travelling-wave similarity solution describing the flow of a slender symmetric rivulet of non-Newtonian power-law fluid down an inclined plane is obtained. The flow is driven by gravity with strong surface-tension effect. The solution predicts that at any time  and position , the rivulet widens or narrows according to , where  is velocity of a rivulet, and the film thickens or thins according to a free parameter , independent of power-law index . The rivulet also has a quartic transverse profile which always has a global maximum at its symmetrical axis.

The effect of non-Newtonian biomagnetic power-law fluid in a channel undergoing external localised magnetic fields is investigated. The governing equations are derived by considering both effects of Ferrohydrodynamics (FHD) and Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). These governing equations are difficult to solve due to the inclusion of source term from magnetic equation and the nonlinearity of the power-law model. Numerical scheme of Constrained Interpolation Profile (CIP) is developed to solve the governing equations numerically. Extensive results carried out show that this method is efficient on studying the biomagnetic and non-Newtonian power-law flow. New results show that the inclusion of power-law model affects the vortex formation, skin friction and heat transfer parameter significantly. Regardless of the power-law index, the vortex formation length increases when Magnetic number increases. The effect of this vortex however decreases with the inclusion of power-law where in the shear thinning case, the arising vortex is more pronounced than in the shear thickening case. Furthermore, increasing of power-law index from shear thinning to shear thickening, decreases the wall shear stress and heat transfer parameters. However for high Magnetic number, the wall shear stress and heat transfer parameters increase especially near the location of the magnetic source. The results can be used as a guide on assessing the potential effects of radiofrequency fields (RF) from electromagnetic fields (EMF) exposure on blood vessel.

AbstractA steady flow of a power law fluid through an artery with a stenosis has been analyzed. The equation governing the flow is derived under the assumption of mild stenosis. An exact solution of the governing equation is obtained, which is then used to study the effects of various parameters of interest on axial velocity, resistance to flow and shear stress distribution. It is found that axial velocity increases while resistance to flow decreases when going from shear-thinning to shear-thickening fluid. Moreover, the magnitude of shear stress decreases by increasing the tapering parameter. This problem was already addressed by Nadeem et al. [14], but the results presented by them were erroneous due to a mistake in the derivation of the governing equation of the flow. This mistake is highlighted in the "Formulation of the Problem" section.

The distribution of the speed and shear stress in power-law fluid with the laminar flow in the pipe were analyzed in this paper, then, the flow rate was calculated. Moreover, the stop pipe diameter was designed by calculating the balance of shear stress of power-law fluid in the pipe and the gravity of filling fluid. The conclusion: Ideal stop pipe diameter of power-law fluid is related to fluid properties, pressure and the acceleration of gravity.

The Galerkin approximative technique is used to solve the problem of stagnation in plane flow, the so-called “Hiemenz flow”, of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid in presence of a constant transverse magnetic field. The influence of the magnetic field strength on the wall shear stress is analyzed.

A lubrication theory for the power law fluid is developed and analyzed. Only the infinite width gap is considered. Considered is flow between rigid walls of arbitrary shape under combined Couette and squeezing motion with a pressure gradient. Equations appropriate to a thin film are derived by asymptotic integration of the three-dimensional equations of fluid mechanics. Further integration of these equations yields an algebraic equation for the pressure gradient. Working out the details of the structure of this equation enables us to develop a numerical algorithm for its solution. To illustrate the theory, it is used to calculate the pressure distribution for a parabolic slider bearing and the pressure gradient and velocity distribution when the mass flux is prescribed. The latter results are compared with results obtained earlier by Dien and Elrod (1983).
