Non-Newtonian fluids
Highly viscous non-Newtonian fluids (e.g. toothpaste, melted
plastic, chemical blends) are common in many industrial
applications. The complex rheological properties of these fluids
can be introduced in XFlow by using the predefined viscosity
models available (Newtonian, Sutherland, Cross, Herschel-
Bulkley, Power Law, Carreau) or user-defined functions.
