Nonlocal problems for the equations of motion of Kelvin-Voigt fluids
Non-Newtonian fluids and function spaces
In this note we give an overview of recent results in the theory of electrorheological fluids and the theory of function spaces with variable exponents. Moreover, we present a detailed and self-contained exposition of shifted -functions that are used in the studies of generalized Newtonian fluids and problems with -structure.

Numerical modelling of steady and unsteady flows of generalized Newtonian fluids
This work presents the numerical solution of laminar incompressible viscous flow in a three dimensional branching channel with circular cross section for generalized Newtonian fluids. This model can be generalized by cross model in shear thinning meaning. The governing system of equations is based on the system of balance laws for mass and momentum. Numerical tests are performed on a three dimensional geometry, the branching channel with one entrance and two outlet parts. Numerical solution of the...
Numerical modelling of viscous and viscoelastic fluids flow through the branching channel
The aim of this paper is to describe the numerical results of numerical modelling of steady flows of laminar incompressible viscous and viscoelastic fluids. The mathematical models are Newtonian and Oldroyd-B models. Both models can be generalized by cross model in shear thinning meaning. Numerical tests are performed on three dimensional geometry, a branched channel with one entrance and two output parts. Numerical solution of the described models is based on cell-centered finite volume method...
Numerical simulation of generalized Newtonian and Oldroyd-B fluids flow
This work deals with the numerical solution of generalized Newtonian and Oldroyd-B fluids flow. The governing system of equations is based on the system of balance laws for mass and momentum for incompressible laminar viscous and viscoelastic fluids. Two different definition of the stress tensor are considered. For viscous case Newtonian model is used. For the viscoelastic case Oldroyd-B model is tested. Both presented models can be generalized. In this case the viscosity is defined as a shear rate...
Numerical simulation of generalized Newtonian fluids flow in bypass geometry
The aim of this work is to present numerical results of non-Newtonian fluid flow in a model of bypass. Different angle of a connection between narrowed channel and the bypass graft is considered. Several rheology viscosity models were used for the non-Newtonian fluid, namely the modified Cross model and the Carreau-Yasuda model. The results of non-Newtonian fluid flow are compared to the results of Newtonian fluid. The fundamental system of equations is the generalized system of Navier-Stokes equations...
Numerical simulation of the motion of a three-dimensional glacier
The motion of a three-dimensional glacier is considered. Ice is modeled as an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid. At each time step, given the shape of the glacier, a nonlinear elliptic system has to be solved in order to obtain the two components of the horizontal velocity field. Then, the shape of the glacier is updated by solving a transport equation. Finite element techniques are used to compute the velocity field and to solve the transport equation. Numerical results are compared to experiments...
