The modified Bautista-Manero model, which successfully describes shearthinning, elasticity and thixotropic time-dependency, was used for modeling the flow of viscoelastic materials which also show thixotropic attributes. An algorithm, originally proposed by Philippe Tardy, that employs this model to simulate steadystate time-dependent flow was implemented in a non-Newtonian flow simulation code using pore-scale modeling and the initial results were analyzed. The findings are encouraging for further future development.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-05-12T20:22:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "porous media", "bautista-manero fluid", "simulate steadystate time-dependent flow", "non-newtonian flow simulation code", "peculiar viscoelastic behavior" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0905.1960S" } } }
