Non-Newtonian Fluid Behaviour
1. Classification of fluid behaviour 1.1
Definition of a Newtonian Fluid
First subscript direction normal to that of
shearing force Second subscript direction of
force
(1)
Where velocity v (u,v,w)
For an incompressible fluid of density r,
Equation (1) can also be written as
(2)
The quantity (ru) is the momentum in the
x-direction per unit volume of the fluid. tyx
represents the momentum flux in the y-direction
9
QFS Check units of tyx to see if they are
consistent with momentum flux. What does m/r
represent ? What are its units ? For Newtonian
behaviour (1) tyx is proportional to gyx and a
plot passes through the origin and (2) by
definition the constant of proportionality, m, is
independent of both shear rate and shear
stress. QFS For a Newtonian fluid the viscosity
can depend upon three factors. What are they ?
Give examples of Newtonian fluids. 1.2
Non-Newtonian Fluid Behaviour The flow curve
(shear stress vs. shear rate) is either
non-linear, or does pass through the origin, or
both. Three classes can be distinguished. (1)
Fluids for which the rate of shear at any point
is determined only by the value of the shear
stress at that point at that instant these
fluids are variously known as time independent,
purely viscous, inelastic, or Generalised
Newtonian Fluids (GNF).
10
(2) More complex fluids for which the relation
between shear stress and shear rate depends, in
addition, on the duration of shearing and
their kinematic history they are called
time-dependent fluids. (3) Substances
exhibiting characteristics of both ideal fluids
and elastic solids and showing partial elastic
recovery, after deformation these are
characterised as visco-elastic fluids. 1.3
Time-Independent Fluid Behaviour 1.3.1 Shear
thinning or pseudoplastic fluids Over a limited
range of shear-rate (or stress) log (t) vs. log
(g) is approximately a straight line of negative
slope. Hence tyx m(gyx)n (3) where m fluid
consistency coefficient n flow behaviour
index QFS If a power-law (Ostwald de Waele)
fluid is shear-thinning, is nlt1 or ngt1 ?
11
QFS Re-arrange Eq. (3) to obtain an expression
for apparent viscosity mapp (
tyx/gyx) Expressions that are applicable over a
wider range of shear rates are covered
later. 1.3.2 Viscoplastic Fluid
Behaviour Viscoplastic fluids behave as if they
have a yield stress (t0). Until t0 is exceeded
they do not appear to flow. A Bingham plastic
fluid has a constant plastic viscosity
for
for
Often the two model parameters t0B and mB are
treated as curve fitting constants, even when
there is no true yield stress.
12
1.3.3 Shear-thickening or Dilatant Fluid
Behaviour Eq. (3) is applicable with ngt1. 1.4
Time-dependent Fluid Behaviour Apparent viscosity
depends not only on the rate of shear but on the
time for which fluid has been subject to
shearing. If apparent viscosity decreases with
time of shearing, then the fluid is
thixotropic. Fluid movement can, under certain
critical conditions, lead to re-formation of
structure which results in an increased
resistance to relative motion. Thus apparent
viscosity increases with length of shearing. This
behaviour is known as rheopexy. 1.5
Visco-elastic Fluid Behaviour A visco-elastic
fluid displays both elastic and viscous
properties. A true visco-elastic fluid gives time
dependent behaviour.

3. Examples Newtonian flow occurs for simple
fluids, such as water, petrol, and vegetable
oil. The Non-Newtonian flow behaviour of many
microstructured products can offer real
advantages. For example, paint should be easy to
spread, so it should have a low apparent
viscosity at the high shear caused by the
paintbrush. At the same time, the paint should
stick to the wall after its brushed on, so it
should have a high apparent viscosity after it is
applied. Many cleaning fluids and furniture
waxes should have similar properties.
18
The causes of Non-Newtonian flow depend on the
colloid chemistry of the particular product. In
the case of water-based latex paint, the
shear-thinning is the result of the breakage of
hydrogen bonds between the surfactants used to
stabilise the latex. For many cleaners, the shear
thinning behaviour results from disruptions of
liquid crystals formed within the products. It is
the forces produced by these chemistries that
are responsible for the unusual and attractive
properties of these microstructured
products. For more information, see Chemical
Product Design by EL Cussler and GD Moggridge

we shall use an Eulerian frame of reference (an
inertial frame), i.e. u is measured relative to a
fixed point in space, the origin O. 1.2 The
Continuum Hypothesis What do we mean by a
velocity, a pressure or a density at a fixed
point in space ? Consider an average density
averaged over volume L3...

The Continuum Hypothesis assumes that we
have L1ltltL2ltltL3 We suppose that the fluid can be
treated as a continuum (i.e. not made up of
individual molecules) with the properties of the
plateau region. This hypothesis is not valid
for (i) Rarefied gases - L2l (mean free
path) (ii) Knudsen diffusion - diffusion within
very small pores where, d, the pore
diameterltl and L3d (i.e. no plateau)

mass or chemical species - scalar (ii)
Conservation of energy (first law of
thermodynamics) - scalar (iii) Conservation of
momentum (Newtons second law) - vector Define a
control volume V fixed in space and bounded by a

If the fluid is incompressible, r a constant,
then
Note this is true even for unsteady flows
24
2.2 Convective Derivative Even in a steady flow,
a fluid particle can change its momentum by
moving to a position where its velocity is
different- this acceleration requires a force to
be applied to the fluid particle. Before we
consider the momentum equation well look at a
simpler example of heat transfer.
Consider the change in temperature of the
fluid particle in dt in which it moves a
distance (dx, dy, dz)

We write this as a total or SUBSTANTIVE derivative

2.3 Energy Equation To illustrate the use of the
substantive derivative let us consider
an enthalpy balance on an element of fluid with
volume dV. Enthalpy is transferred by (i)
convection and (ii) conduction - Fouriers
law Define heat flux vector
Heat flux (W/m2) may be different in the x, y and
z directions. The thermal conductivities, kx, ky
and kz are direction dependent -e.g. anisotropic
materials, such as crystals, wood, foodstuffs.

d/dz 0, w 0) Also assume r constant.

2.5 The Momentum Equation (Navier-Stokes) Momentum
is a vector quantity, however, if we consider
transport in a single direction, then we can
use the same treatment as for energy or species
conservation. x-momentum per unit volume ru The

30
N.B. the shear stress tzx also contributes to the
force in the x-direction. Hence the force in the
x-direction due to viscous stresses is
Hence, from Newtons second law, total rate of
change of momentum in the x-direction
As with enthalpy we require a constitutive
equation to relate the flux of the transported
quantity to the gradient of the quantity. 2.6.1
The Stress Tensor In the previous section we
separated the normal stresses into (I)
pressure and (II) viscous normal stresses. The
total normal stress, txx etc. txx sxx - P tyy
syy - P the -ve sign is because of sgt0 in
tension, tzz szz - P Pgt0 for compressive
stresses
31
At each point in a continuous medium, whether it
is solid or fluid, we need six numbers, each of
them representing a component of force per unit
area, to define the local stress completely.
Consider an infinitesimal cubic element
tyy
tyx
txy must always equal tyx even in the absence
of mechanical equilibrium. If not the cube would
experience a couple about the z-axis and begin to
rotate.
Normal stresses must balance for mechanical equili

So the deviatoric stress tensor (viscous
stresses) is i.e. a symmetric matrix -
all diagonal elements are equal
32
2.6.2 Newtonian Fluids If planar laminae of fluid
lying normal to the y-direction are moving
steadily in the x-direction and sliding over one
another, so that there exists a velocity gradient
, Newton postulated that in such circumstances
a frictional shear stress arises between
adjacent laminae of magnitude
y
x
(2.6.2.1)
where m -the viscosity, or shear viscosity-
depends on the nature of the fluid. The
assumption of a linear relationship between shear
stress and velocity gradient satisfies the basic
requirement that when the velocity gradient
vanishes everywhere, in which case an inertial
frame exists in which the fluid is at rest in
equilibrium, tyx must vanish. It also
satisfies the symmetry requirement that tyx must
change its sign when the motion is reversed.
33
However the above equation cannot suffice in more
complex situations. If a fluid is not only moving
along the x-direction but also along the
y- direction, and two non-zero velocity
gradients exist, then a shear stress would
exist on planes normal to the x-axis of magnitude
(2.6.2.2)
If the properties of the fluid are isotropic then
the value of m would be the same. However,
Equations (2.6.2.1) and (2.6.2.2) do not satisfy
the requirement that txy and tyx are always
equal. Evidently, we must symmetrise them by
writing
It is possible to define a total rate of
deformation as
Note that, like the stress tensor, the rate of
deformation tensor is symmetric, i.e. exy eyx.
34
The Denatoric stresses are related to the rate of
strain by the general relationship (due to
Newton) tij 2m x eij (Newtons law of
viscosity) i.e.
and similarly for normal stresses syy, szz, and
and similarly for other shear stresses.
Note (I) for 1D shearing flows, u f(y) and v
0, thus (II) all other elements in the stress
tensor can be found by rotation (x, y, z) and
(u, v, w) x, u z, w y, v
35
2.6.3 Navier-Stokes (N-S) Equations for
Incompressible Flow Using the expressions above
for the viscous stresses, the stress gradients
in the N-S equations become
0, since by Continuity
So the x-momentum equation is
and similarly for the y, z directions. We can
write all three momentum equations together,
using vector notation, as
36
2.7 The N-S Equation in Non-Dimensional
Form Suppose we have U characteristic velocity
(say, the mean velocity in pipe flow) L
characteristic length (say, pipe diameter) Define
a dimensionless velocity and dimensionless
lengths Then
and
so the N-S eq. for x-momentum conservation become

with similar expressions for the y- and z-
directions. N.B. we obtain dynamic similarity at
two scales of operation, simply by holding the
Reynolds number constant at both scales. There
are two special cases to consider (a) Re is very
large inertial effects dominate over viscous
effects Solution by Potential Flow
theory where f velocity potential

(b) Re tends to 0, inertial effects are
negligible Stokes eqn. -creeping flow
38
3. Some Solutions to the N-S Equation 3.1 Is the
Eqn. Set Closed ? Within the flow domain, the
fluid properties m and r are known, but
the velocity u (u, v, w) and the pressures are
unknown. Thus we have 4 unknowns - requires 4
independent equations for a unique
solution. Eqn. (1) 4 equations Eqns.
(2)-(4) thus conclude a closed form solution is
possible. 3.2 Boundary Conditions On the edge of
the flow domain we need to know boundary
conditions for u and possibly for the
pressure. (1) Typically the situations of
interest to us are internal flows (wall bounded).
39
At the wall we have (I) impermeable wall, thus
v 0. (II) no slip condition, thus u w
0 (but note the no-slip condition is not
satisfied by a potential flow but condition (I)
must be satisfied) Free surface flows (I) at

3.5 Numerical Solution of the N-S Equations We
can only solve simple 2-D or 1-D unsteady flows.
The analytical solutions provide a continuous
description of u and P. We can find values of u
and P at discrete positions within the flow by
numerical solutions. Procedure (I) discretise
the flow domain by overlapping with a grid (II)
approximate the derivatives in the N-S equations
using difference formulae (III) this leads to a
large set of algebraic equations for the discrete
values of u, v, w etc. (IV) commercial packages,
such as Fluent generate the grid and then
solve the algebraic equations.

3.7 Non Steady-State Diffusion We are going to
consider mass uptake into an adsorbent pellet
which we will consider to be a homogeneous,
porous, sphere of radius a. This problem is of
relevance when designing adsorption and
heterogeneous catalytic processes. (i) The
adsorbent particle is initially in contact with
the adsorbate vapour at a lower pressure pi (or
with a vacuum). (ii) A step increase in the
external adsorbate pressure to p0 occurs at time
t 0. (iii) The mass uptake of adsorbate into
the pellet is measured over time. If diffusion
occurs in the radial direction and the
diffusivity is a constant the process is
governed by the diffusion equation

where k is a mass transfer coefficient equivalent
to Dp2/a2. This approximate solution to the full
mass uptake equation is known as the Linear
Driving Force (LDF) model. Mass uptake
experiments can be used to measure D for use
in calculations for designing packed bed
catalytic reactors etc.

4. Turbulent Flow
4.1 Experimental Observations In single phase
flow we observe two regimes - laminar and
turbulent, depending on Reynolds number. Above a
critical value Recrit we have turbulent flow -
Round pipe, Recrit2000-3000 - Flow around a
sphere, Recrit104-105 (D dia. of sphere) -
Falling Film Flow, Recrit 1000 (D film
thickness) Turbulent flows are characterised
by (I) Chaotic motion which vary in time and
space. (II) 3-D velocity fluctuations, which give
rise to increased rates of momentum, mass and
heat transport. (III) Mechanical energy, i.e.
kinetic energy is dissipated by viscous effects
to heat.
56
4.2 Averaging Process 4.2.1 Averages Consider a
perfect velocimeter, which measures the
instantaneous velocities at a point.
If u is statistically steady over a time period
Dtgtgtt, then we can define a time averaged
velocity, u, as
tk characteristic time for fluctuations
u
Strictly we require Dt tending to infinity, but
Dtgtgtt will be OK. Compare this with the in-situ
or spatial mean average a pipe
radius for flow in a pipe. Similarly we could do
this for temperatures.
i.e. the mean temperature we would obtain by
closing the pipe ends and mixing the contents.

4.3 Incompressible Turbulent Flow The continuity
equations (derived in sec. 2.6) apply
instantaneously in turbulent flows. We will
decompose the motion into mean and fluctuating
components, and then time average the equations -
we will obtain a description of the mean velocity
and pressure fields. Continuity

a stress in the x-direction Reynolds
stress since v 0 Note u/v/ is only zero
when (i) u/0 or v/0, i.e. Laminar

(i.e. independent)

4.5 Summary Time averaging the N-S eqs. Gives
additional Reynolds stresses which are unknown.
For simple 1-D shear flows
laminar-type stresses
turbulent-type stresses
63
Similarly for heat transport
By averaging the N-S equations we generated 6
extra terms but no new equations - the equation
set is not closed - we can formulate transport
equations for u/v/ but they involve higher order
correlations e.g. u/v/w/. So we always have more
unknowns than equations - this is known as the
CLOSURE problem - we need an additional
hypothesis to obtain a solution

5. TURBULENCE MODELS 5.1 e.g. 1-D flow - we have
already seen that
Reynolds
viscous
kinematic viscosity, a molecular property (m2s-1)
The most straight-forward hypothesis is to assume
that the Reynolds stress can be modelled in the
same way as the viscous stress
e is NOT a molecular property, but depends on the
flow and varies in space.
Eddy viscosity (m2s-1) (gt0)
5.2 Mixing Length Theory (MLT) Prandtl (1925)
based his MLT on the (entirely false) analogy
between turbulent motion and the kinetic theory
of gases. (It is false because eddies are not
negligible in size compared to the flow). More
modern theories involve fractals and chaos
theory.
65
As in the Reynolds analogy we assume that fluid
elements take random jumps of length
(y2-y1). N.B. the jump length is a random
variable and y2-y1 0 A fluid element
transports mean momentum ru(y1) to position

such that

We write it in this form so that (tyx)R lt0 when
Compare with the eddy viscosity hypothesis
In general, we considered transport of any
property f by turbulent velocity fluctuations.
Similar analysis, we suppose that the turbulent
flux of f is in each case
Thus for both molecular and turbulent transport
Momentum transport

Species transport
Enthalpy transport
N.B. the eddy viscosity is assumed to be the same
in each case, and depends only on the flow.
5.3 Velocity Distributions for Turbulent Flow in
a Pipe 5.3.1. Dimensional Analysis For a fully
developed turbulent flow, the time mean velocity
u is a function of y, the distance from the
wall u f(y, a, r, m, t0), where a is the
pipe radius Forming dimensionless groups
where t0 wall shear stress,
69
N.B. (t0/r)1/2 is a characteristic velocity,
known as the friction velocity, u. is called
the friction distance, y.
These are not physical quantities - merely
correlating parameters. In dimensionless
terms u f(y,a)
70
5.3.2 1/7 Power Law Fluid motion in turbulent
flow is extremely complex and there is no single
analytical expression which can give an accurate
representation of the velocity distribution
across the entire cross-section. Even if the
laminar sub-layers (boundary layers) are excluded
from the foregoing statement it is still true.
Consider the classic expression
Where a pipe radius u velocity at distance
y from the wall u1 centre line velocity This
expression is inadequate at y0 (this can be
shown by calculating du/dy and then putting y0)
which is to be expected. Also, it is inadequate
at ya ! The actual velocity profile must be flat
at the centre-line with du/dy 0 at ya.
71
5.3.3 Prandtls proposal for l We know that e
varies spatially and MLT suggests
but, how does l vary with the distance from the
wall ? (a) Near walls, yltlta We expect there to
be no effect of pipe curvature, so u
f(y) Close to the walls, viscous effects
dominate, since u tends to zero as y tends to
zero, and e0 (at least eltltn). If we assume that
the shear stress in the fluid t is approximately
the same as the wall shear stress, t0, then
0

tt0 l is a transverse length scale and is going
to be proportional to the largest eddy size, at
position y. Prandtl proposed l ky where ky is
of the order of unity. (since the largest eddies
are of order y)

5.5 The experimental data fits the predicted
values well in the VSL and the TC, but there is
an intermediate region, known as the Buffer
Layer, where both viscous and Reynolds stresses
are important. Von Karman simply filled in this
region with a straight line of the same form as
in the TC u A ln y B The buffer layer
is between the VSL (ylt5) and the turbulent core
and the equation must fit smoothly with the
equations for the regions on either side.

Clearly, we should not have a step change in e -
this is the major disadvantage in using the UVP.
