A non-Newtonian fluid is that fluid whose viscosity varies with time and the shear
stress applied to it. As a result, a non-Newtonian fluid does not have a defined and
constant viscosity value, unlike a Newtonian fluid.
Aprox. ≈ 2400. For the sc device, we report strong flow modification effects around
the cylinder as the flow rate is incremented. This is associated with the deformation
of polymer molecules primarily in the upstream wake region, leading to the onset of
a purely elastic flow asymmetry upstream of the cylinder. Stretched polymer
molecules are advected around the cylinder and relax downstream of the cylinder,
resulting in an extremely long elastic wake extending for > 300r downstream. In the
dc channel, at lower flow rates, similar flow modification effects are observed to
develop around, and downstream of, both cylinders. However, at higher flow rates
the wake of the first cylinder extends > 50r downstream, and begins to interact with
the second cylinder. The second cylinder becomes encapsulated by the wake of the
first and is effectively obviated from the flow field. The results will be of relevance
to understanding practical applications of viscoelastic fluids, for example in particle
suspension and porous media flows, and also for benchmarking against numerical
simulations using viscoelastic constitutive models.

El flujo inducido por una esfera que gira dentro de un fluido incompresible no
newtoniano, ha sido investigado numéricamente. La esfera giratoria está encerrada
en una caja cúbica concéntrica con límites sólidos. El índice del fluido varió entre 0.2
y 2 pozos que cubrían ambos, dilución de cizallamiento y fluidos espesantes de
cizallamiento, y el número de Reynolds varió entre 0.01 y 10.000. Las predicciones
numéricas muestran diferencias significativas entre el adelgazamiento por
cizallamiento y los fluidos espesantes de cizallamiento.
