Pressure Drop and Vortex Size of Power Law Fluids Flow in Branching Channels with Sudden Expansion

Three dimensional flows of complex non-Newtonian fluids in sudden expending pipes are numerically investigated in this paper. The distribution channels have one or multiple inlet pipes and one outlet pipe. The working fluids have a shear thinning behavior modeled by the Ostwald De Waele law. The eff...
