✦ Synopsis

Finite element solutions are presented for the flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids around a sphere falling along the centreline of a cylindrical tube. Both rotating and stationary tube scenarios are considered. Calculations are reported for three different inelastic constitutive models that manifest shear-thinning, extension-thickening and their combination. The influence of inertia and these various forms of viscous response are examined for their influence upon the drag on the settling particle and the structure of the flow. Simulations are performed by employing a semi-implicit time marching Taylor -Galerkin/pressure-correction finite element algorithm, a fractional-staged scheme of second-order-accuracy.

## Abstract The analytical solution to the equation of motion is given for the steady laminar flow of a uniformly conducting incompressible non‐Newtonian fluid between two parallel planes. The fluid is under the influence of a constant pressure gradient and is subjected to a steady magnetic field p

Oil production along the Gulf Coast and elsewhere from formations that are essentially unconsolidated sand often requires some means of "sand control." That is, oil production must be free of sand, not merely to minimize solids handling problems, but to insure long and productive well performance. G

The equation of motion has been solved for steady axial, laminar, isothermal flow of an Ellis model fluid in a conduit of annular cross section. Tables are presented which may be used to obtain flow curves for annular flow of fluids whose Ellis parameters are known. The Ellis fluid predictions are c
