Numerical solution of Newtonian flow in bypass and non-Newtonian flow in branching channels
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....
