Abstract:
In this study, we have considered the modal and non-modal stability of fluids with shear-dependent viscosity flowing in a rigid straight pipe. A second order finite-difference code is used for the simulation of pipe flow in the cylindrical coordinate system. The Carreau-Yasuda model where the rheological parameters vary in the range of 0.3 < n < 1.5 and 0.1 < λ < 100 is represents the viscosity of shear- thinning and shear thickening fluids. Variation of the periodic pulsatile forcing is obtained via the ratio Kω/Kο and set between 0.2 and 20. Zero and non-zero streamwise wavenumbe

Abstract:
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) have evolved over the years to become one of the main causes of casualties and fatalities in recent conflicts. One area of research focuses on the improvement of blast attenuation using Shear Thickening Fluid (STF). The STF is a dilatant material, which displays non-Newtonian characteristics in its unique ability to transit from a low viscosity fluid to a high viscosity fluid. Although empirical research and computational models using the non-Newtonian flow characteristics of STF have been conducted to study the effects of STF on blast mitigation, to the aut

Abstract:
The absorption of dynamic energy during impact of a material is ubiquitous in industrial, biomedical and military applications. From suspension systems to shock absorbers, the ability to divert or dissipate dynamic energy imposes many challenges in developing these systems. Some typical complex composite fluids, such as shear-thickening fluids (STFs), play a vital role in these challenges. STFs, classified as non-Newtonian fluids, are special fluidic composites of dense suspensions which dramatically change their viscosity when subjected to a change in shear rate or stress. These fluidic compo

Abstract:
Abstract In order to improve the optimisation of mineral processing operations the rheological properties of slurries must be determined as accurately as possible under the conditions that closely resemble actual site conditions. The rheology of particles suspended in Newtonian fluids is well documented. However, the rheology of particles in non-Newtonian fluids has not been the subject of much investigation till now. The work conducted here attempts to fill this gap in knowledge. The rheological properties of slurries are heavily dependent on the solids concentrations and particl

Abstract:
A group of materials that have recently gained a lot of attention in research are shear thickening fluids (STF). A shear thickening fluid (STF) is a material whose viscosity increases significantly when the shear strain rate is at critical value. Most shear thickening fluids are designed by using a colloidal suspension of solid particles in a liquid matrix. This allows solidification of the fluid by congregation of the particles under stress. In this study the experimental findings are focused on assessing the mechanical property of shear thickening fluid (STF) after its transition to a solid

Abstract:
This thesis aims to study and explore the drop-weight impact-induced solidification process of an STF, consisting of 58 vol% styrene/acrylate particles in ethylene glycol, in a finite volume. The study begins with the characterisation of the mechanical behaviours (i.e., rheological and confined compression behaviours) of the STF. Low-velocity drop-weight impact experiments are conducted to investigate the effect of the STF’s dimensions in a finite volume on the impact behaviour of the STF. It is found that the impact behaviour is related to both the depth and the diameter of the STF. A new mo

This thesis aimed to systematically investigate striker shape effect on the mechanical behaviours and energy absorption capabilities of a shear thickening fluid (STF) under low-velocity impact tests. STF is a non-Newtonian colloidal suspension system with a preferable energy absorption capability under both low-velocity and high-velocity impact.
