This paper presents a technique that collapses existing experimental data of heat transfer in pipe flow of Newtonian and power law fluids into a single master curve. It also discusses the theoretical basis of heat, mass and momentum analogies and the implications of the present analysis to visualisations of turbulence.

Exact solutions for laminar stratified flows of Newtonian/non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids in horizontal and inclined channels are presented. An iterative algorithm is proposed to compute the laminar solution for the general case of a Carreau non- Newtonian fluid. The exact solution is used to study the effect of the rheology of the shear-thinning liquid on two-phase flow characteristics considering both gas/liquid and liquid/liquid systems. Concurrent and counter-current inclined systems are investigated, including the mapping of multiple solution boundaries. Aspects relevant to practical applications are discussed, such as the insitu hold-up, or lubrication effects achieved by adding a less viscous phase. A characteristic of this family of systems is that, even if the liquid has a complex rheology (Carreau fluid), the two-phase stratified flow can behave like the liquid is Newtonian for a wide range of operational conditions. The capability of the two-fluid model to yield satisfactory predictions in the presence of shear-thinning liquids is tested, and an algorithm is proposed to a priori predict if the Newtonian (zero shear rate viscosity) behaviour arises for a given operational conditions in order to avoid large errors in the predictions of flow characteristics when the power-law is considered for modelling the shear-thinning behaviour. Two-fluid model closures implied by the exact solution and the effect of a turbulent gas layer are also addressed.

Linear stability of horizontal and inclined stratified channel flows of Newtonian/non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids is investigated with respect to all wavelength perturbations. The Carreau model has been chosen for the modeling of the rheology of a shear-thinning fluid, owing to its capability to describe properly the constant viscosity limits (Newtonian behavior) at low and high shear rates. The results are presented in the form of stability boundaries on flow pattern maps (with the phases superficial velocities as coordinates) for several practically important gas-liquid and liquid-liquid systems. The stability maps are accompanied by spatial profiles of the critical perturbations, along with the distributions of the effective and tangent viscosities in the non-Newtonian layer, to show the influence of the complex rheological behavior of shear-thinning liquids on the mechanisms responsible for triggering instability. Due to the complexity of the considered problem, a working methodology is proposed to alleviate the search for the stability boundary. Implementation of the proposed methodology helps to reveal that in many cases the investigation of the simpler Newtonian problem is sufficient for the prediction of the exact (non-Newtonian) stability boundary of smooth stratified flow (i.e., in case of horizontal gas-liquid flow). Therefore, the knowledge gained from the stability analysis of Newtonian fluids is applicable to those (usually highly viscous) non-Newtonian systems. Since the stability of stratified flow involving highly viscous Newtonian liquids has not been researched in the literature, interesting findings on the viscosity effects are also obtained.
We perform $3$D numerical simulations to investigate the sedimentation of a single sphere in the absence and presence of a simple cross shear flow in a yield stress fluid with weak inertia. In our simulations, the settling flow is considered to be th e primary flow, whereas the linear cross shear flow is a secondary flow with amplitude $10%$ of the primary flow. To study the effects of elasticity and plasticity of the carrying fluid on the sphere drag as well as the flow dynamics, the fluid is modeled using the elastovisco-plastic (EVP) constitutive laws proposed by cite{saramito2009new}. The extra non-Newtonian stress tensor is fully coupled with the flow equation and the solid particle is represented by an immersed boundary (IB) method. Our results show that the fore-aft asymmetry in the velocity is less pronounced and the negative wake disappears when a linear cross shear flow is applied. We find that the drag on a sphere settling in a sheared yield stress fluid is reduced significantly as compared to an otherwise quiescent fluid. More importantly, the sphere drag in the presence of a secondary cross shear flow cannot be derived from the pure sedimentation drag law owing to the non-linear coupling between the simple shear flow and the uniform flow. Finally, we show that the drag on the sphere settling in a sheared yield-stress fluid is reduced at higher material elasticity mainly due to the form and viscous drag reduction.
A practical application of universal wall scalings is near-wall turbulence modeling. In this paper, we exploit temperatures semi-local scaling [Patel, Boersma, and Pecnik, {Scalar statistics in variable property turbulent channel flows}, Phys. Rev. F luids, 2017, 2(8), 084604] and derive an eddy conductivity closure for wall-modeled large-eddy simulation of high-speed flows. We show that while the semi-local scaling does not collapse high-speed direct numerical simulation (DNS) data, the resulting eddy conductivity and the wall model work fairly well. The paper attempts to answer the following outstanding question: why the semi-local scaling fails but the resulting eddy conductivity works well. We conduct DNSs of Couette flows at Mach numbers from $M=1.4$ to 6. We add a source term in the energy equation to get a cold, a close-to-adiabatic wall, and a hot wall. Detailed analysis of the flows energy budgets shows that aerodynamic heating is the answer to our question: aerodynamic heating is not accounted for in Patel et al.s semi-local scaling but is modeled in the equilibrium wall model. We incorporate aerodynamic heating in semi-local scaling and show that the new scaling successfully collapses the high-speed DNS data. We also show that incorporating aerodynamic heating or not, the semi-local scaling gives rise to the exact same eddy conductivity, thereby answering the outstanding question.
