Interfacial effects in visco-plastic lubrication flows
Poiseuille flows with yield stress fluids produce an unyielded central plug which can act as a solid conduit surrounding central (core) flows of Newtonian or power law fluids. Effectively, the annular yield stress fluid acts as a lubricant that isolates the core flow from wall friction. Stable flows...
