Kinematic history

Non-Newtonian fluids are generally those for which the viscosity is not constant even at constant temperature and pressure. The viscosity depends on the shear rate or, more accurately, on the previous kinematic history of the fluid. The linear relationship between the shear stress and the shear rate, noted in Equation (1), is no longer sufficient. Strictly speaking, the coefficient of viscosity is meaningful only for Newtonian fluids, in which case it is the slope of a plot of stress versus rate of shear, as shown in Figure 4.2. For non-Newtonian fluids, such a plot is generally nonlinear, so the slope varies from point to point. In actual practice, the data...

A non-Newtonian fluid is one whose flow curve (shear stress versus shear rate) is non-linear or does not pass through the origin, i.e. where the apparent viscosity, shear stress divided by shear rate, is not constant at a given temperature and pressure but is dependent on flow conditions such as flow geometry, shear rate, etc. and sometimes even on the kinematic history of the fluid element under eonsideration. Such materials may be conveniently grouped into three general elasses ... 

For some fluids the relation between the shear rate and the shear stress depends on the duration of the flow, or, more precisely, on the kinematic history of the fluid. We can distinguish two categories thixotropy and rheopexy. 

When we consider non-Newtonian liquids, the viscosity is not constant, because of the influence of shear rate and time. So for non-Newtonian fluids we refer to their apparent viscosity (p ), or effective viscosity, and we have to specify the conditions of shear rate to which this applies. When we speak of time-dependent fluids, we must also specify the shear history or kinematic history, at the point that their apparent viscosity is quoted. As long as we keep these restrictions in mind for a non-Newtonian fluid, we can still think of the apparent viscosity as ... 

Table 3.3 summarizes the history of the development of wave-profile measurement devices as they have developed since the early period. The devices are categorized in terms of the kinetic or kinematic parameter actually measured. From the table it should be noted that the earliest devices provided measurements of displacement versus time in either a discrete or continuous mode. The data from such measurements require differentiation to relate them to shock-conservation relations, and, unless constant pressures or particle velocities are involved, considerable accuracy can be lost in data processing. 

How will we identify the extra astrophysics required to reconcile the properties of CDM dark haloes with those of luminous galaxies We can start by developing knowledge of the evolutionary history of at least one place in at least one galaxy. We would be unlucky if that place were far from the norm alternatively, any theory that predicts such a history to be very unusual might be suspect -the galaxian Copernican principle. Kinematics and current spatial location are of course critical parameters, so that traditional stellar populations analyses are... 

However, it is now worth pointing out that the difference in ax and aN imply that the initial model should be replaced in shear by a pair of two independent correlations for shear stress (eq. 50a and 50c) or for first normal stress coefficient (eq. 50b and 50d). But at this point some questions arise concerning the choice of the proper value (bt or un) to be used in any other flow situation. Though it is possible to imagine equation (49) Including some variation of a with flow history or invariants, it could hardly be different in two equations for the same flow kinematics. 

N2O is an important transient species. Examining in detail the history of the MD trajectories indicate that many N2O molecules formed in the early stages through the new multicenter mechanism and also by a four-center mechanism, as can be seen in Fig. 21 below. The kinematic matrix for the formation of N2O by the four-center mechanism is given by... 

The dEs are deceptively simple stellar systems, with no young stars and apparently kinematically-relaxed stellar populations. Recent high-precision ground-based and HST CCD photometry have demonstrated that this is far from the truth. The dEs display a variety of complex multi-episode star formation histories. For example, Carina shows evidence for several distinct star formation events spread over several Gyr (Smecker-Hane et al. 1994) Sculptor and Fornax appear morphologically similar, but Sculptor appears to formed the bulk of its stars at an earlier time than Fornax (Tolstoy et al. 2001). Only... 

The chemical and kinematic simulation of the hydrocarbon-bearing basins enables us to reconstruct their burial history, the changes in the thermal regime of the sedimentary series as well as formation and migration of hydrocarbons in each oilbearing horizon.
