On the non-stationary non-Newtonian flow through a thin porous medium

We consider a non-stationary incompressible non-Newtonian flow in a thin porous medium of thickness ε which is perforated by periodically distributed solid cylinders of size aε. The viscosity is supposed to obey the power law with flow index 3/2 < p < 2 (pseudoplastic fluids). The limit when t...

Sumario:We consider a non-stationary incompressible non-Newtonian flow in a thin porous medium of thickness ε which is perforated by periodically distributed solid cylinders of size aε. The viscosity is supposed to obey the power law with flow index 3/2 < p < 2 (pseudoplastic fluids). The limit when the thickness tends to zero is considered. Time-dependent Darcy’s laws are rigorously derived from this model depending on the magnitude aε with respect to ε.
