7.6.20.12.6. Carreau

Syntax

Viscosity [{of} SpeciesName] = Carreau [Mu_Zero = mu_zero | Mu_Inf = mu_inf | N = n | A = a | Lambda = lambda | Skip_Sensitivities = skip_sensitivities]

Scope

Aria Material

Summary

A viscosity model dependent on the shear rate $\dot{\gamma}$

$\frac{\mu(\dot{\gamma}) - \mu_\infty}{\mu_\circ - \mu_\infty} = \left(1 + \left(\lambda\dot{\gamma}\right)^a\right)^{\frac{n-1}{a}},$

where $\mu_\infty$ is the infinite shear viscosity (defaults to zero), $\mu_\circ$ is the zero shear viscosity, $n$ and $a$ (defaults to 2) are model parameters, and $\lambda$ is a time constant.
