The time-independent, compressible Poiseuille and extrudate-swell flows of a Carreau fluid with slip at the wall
(2003)We solve the time-dependent, compressible Poiseuille and extrudate-swell flows of a shear-thinning fluid that obeys the Carreau constitutive model, using finite elements in space and a fully-implicit scheme in time. Slip ...
