This work investigated the extent of the wall effects on the free falling velocity of fluid spheres in quiescent Newtonian and pseudoplastic non-Newtonian media. The terminal velocity has been measured as a function of the physical properties of the both dispersed and continuous phases, and of falli

โฆ Synopsis
There are various viscometric flow models available at present to determine the mechanical properties of incompressible non-Newtonian fluids. In most of these, measurement of the normal stresses is quite a challenge. We introduce a new viscometric flow model and derive a theory for the measurement of the "second normal stress". We also indicate how such a measurement can be performed in practice.
