A cylindrical detonating explosive behaves like a non-Newtonian viscous fluid emerging from a cylindrical pipe. The expression for non-Newtonian viscous flow has been applied to detonating explosives. The resultant fit to emerging flame fronts from detonation is excellent for a wide variety of detonating explosives both for transients (at various times) and for steady state. The quantities k'(lambda/lambda(1))(2/B) and 1/B and the rate constant k' increase abruptly at a time supporting a change in mechanism from deflagration to detonation in the transient during initiation. All of these parameters are temperature sensitive, indicating an abrupt temperature increase as a condition or indicator in the deflagration-to-detonation transition. Furthermore, a straight line results when log particle velocity u is plotted against log radial distance r, indicating that, for the explosives studied, the hyperbolic cosine wave front can be replaced by a parabolic wave front within the accuracy of the available experimental data.

The current investigation explores tri-hybrid mediated blood flow through a ciliary annular model, designed to emulate an endoscopic environment. The human circulatory system, driven by the metachronal ciliary waves, is examined in this study to understand how ternary nanoparticles influence wave-like flow dynamics in the presence of interfacial nanolayers. We also analyze the effect of an induced magnetic field on Ag-Cu-/blood flow within the annulus, focusing on thermal radiation, heat sources, buoyancy forces and ciliary motion.

Polymer solution injection has emerged as a promising method for the remediation of NAPL (non-aqueous phase liquids)-contaminated aquifers. This technique enhances recovery efficiency by modifying viscous forces, stabilizing the displacement front, and minimizing channeling effects. However, there remains a significant gap in understanding the behavior of polymer solutions, particularly those with different molecular weights (MW), for mobilizing DNAPL (dense non-aqueous phase liquids) trapped in heterogeneous aquifers, especially within low-permeability layers.

For univentricular heart patients, the Fontan circulation presents a unique pathophysiology due to chronic non-pulsatile low-shear-rate pulmonary blood flow, where non-Newtonian effects are likely substantial. This study evaluates the influence of non-Newtonian behavior of blood on fluid dynamics and energetic efficiency in pediatric patient-specific models of the Fontan circulation. We used immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method simulations to compare Newtonian and non-Newtonian viscosity models.

The dynamics of electro-osmotically generated flow of biological viscoelastic fluid in a cylindrical geometry are investigated in this paper. This flux is the result of walls contracting and relaxing sinusoidally in a magnetic environment. The blood's viscoelasticity and shear-thinning viscosity are the primary causes of its non-Newtonian characteristics.

In embedded 3D printing (EMB3D), a nozzle extrudes continuous filaments inside of a viscoelastic support bath. Compared to other extrusion processes, EMB3D enables softer structures and print paths that conform better to the shape of the part, allowing for complex structures such as tissues and organs. However, strategies for high-quality dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties remain undocumented in EMB3D.
