      3-D flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids 

      Burgos, Gilmer R.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (ASME, 1998)
      The flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids through a sudden 3-D square with expansion height ratio of 2:1 is studied numerically by solving the mass and momentum conservation equations along with a continuous constitutive relation. ...

      Cessation of annular Poiseuille flows of Bingham plastics 

      Chatzimina, Maria Evangelia; Xenophontos, Christos A.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Argyropaidas, Ioannis; Mitsoulis, Evan C. (2007)
      We numerically solve the cessation of the annular Poiseuille flow of Bingham plastics for various values of the diameter ratio, using the regularized constitutive equation proposed by Papanastasiou and employing finite ...

      The steady annular extrusion of a Newtonian liquid under gravity and surface tension 

      Housiadas, Kostas D.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Tsamopoulos, J. (2000)
      The steady extrusion of a Newtonian liquid through an annular die and its development outside and away from the die are studied under the influence of gravitational and surface tension forces. The finite element method ...

      Steady Herschel-Bulkley fluid flow in three-dimensional expansions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; McGilvreay, T. M.; Burgos, G. (2001)
      In this paper we study steady flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids in a canonical three-dimensional expansion. The fluid behavior was modeled using a regularized continuous constitutive relation, and the flow was obtained ...

      A timestepper approach for the systematic bifurcation and stability analysis of polymer extrusion dynamics 

      Kavousanakis, M. E.; Russo, L.; Siettos, C. I.; Boudouvis, Andreas G.; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2008)
      We discuss how matrix-free/timestepper algorithms can efficiently be used with dynamic non-Newtonian fluid mechanics simulators in performing systematic stability/bifurcation analysis. The timestepper approach to bifurcation ...
