Numerical simulations of shear-thinning Oldroyd-B fluids in curved pipes

The aim of this paper is to present a numerical study of steady generalized Newtonian and generalized Oldroyd-B flows with shear-thinning viscosity in a curved pipe of circular cross section and arbitrary curvature ratio. The combined effects of inertia, viscoelasticity and viscosity are studied, an...
