The propulsion speed of the swimmer is calculated by first expanding the equations of motion and the Giesekus constitutive model as a power series in the Weissenberg number, and then using the Lorentz reciprocal theorem to determine the first-order propulsion speed using the known flow fields for rotating and translating two-sphere geometries at zeroth order.

To reveal the theoretical relationship between the structural parameters of coal and the nonlinear seepage characteristics, firstly, the Bingham fluid constitutive equation is used to describe the non-Newtonian behavior in low-permeability coal. Combined with the fractal tree-like bifurcation fracture network model, a mathematical analytical model of threshold pressure gradient is established. Secondly, the model was verified by high-pressure water invasion and radial seepage experiments, and the sensitivity of the model was analyzed.

It cannot, in principle, be used for physiological fluids such as blood simply because such fluids often exhibit a variety of non-Newtonian behavior such as a yield stress. In the present work, we have theoretically extended the classic Richards equation to viscoplastic fluids obeying the Bingham model using the concept of the effective viscosity together with the bundle-of-tube model. The new imbibition model could partly resolve the discrepancy reported in the literature between the predictions of the classic Richards equation for the stain growth of sessile blood droplets in a typical filter paper. A better fit, however, requires considering other non-Newtonian effects of the blood such as its viscoelasticity. Using the Bingham-modified Richards equation, it is demonstrated that yield stress in a test fluid has a retarding effect on the imbibition phenomenon, so that such fluids may not necessarily reach the test line of a paper-based diagnostic kit. But yield stress is predicted to extend the duration of the quasi-steady regime on the test line of diagnostic kits, which is a desirable effect. The results suggest that inducing (or elevating) the level of yield stress in a test liquid such as blood can be used as a passive means to control imbibition characteristics in paper-based systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54782,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 105326"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142322463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The numerical solutions are effectively solved at arbitrary wavelengths through the implementation of the Chebyshev spectral collocation technique. The results show that the presence of elastic stress renders the film more susceptible to destabilization. The underlying mechanisms that instigate the instability are examined from an energy balance perspective.
