Summary

This viscosity model is a function of the shear rate (Carreau model) and temperature (Arrhenius model). The two contributions are combined multiplicatively.

$\mu\left(\dot{\gamma},T\right) = \left[\mu_{\infty} + \left(\mu_{\circ} - \mu_{\infty}\right) \left(1 + \left(\lambda\dot{\gamma}e^{\frac{K}{T}-\frac{K}{T_{ref}}}\right)^a\right)^{\frac{n-1}{a}} \right],$

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, $\dot{\gamma}$ is the shear rate, $\lambda$ is a time constant (defaults to 1), $T_{ref}$ is a reference temperature and $K$ is an Arrhenius constant.
