An implicit scheme for simulation of free surface non-Newtonian fluid flows on dynamically adapted grids (Q1983520)

The authors present an implicit scheme for simulation of free surface non-Newtonian fluid flows on dynamically adapted octree grids. The scheme is based on the use of finite volume and finite difference methods. Two popular fluid models, namely the viscoplastic Herschel-Bulkley and vis-coelastic Oldroyd-B models, are addressed. The numerical models are verified by comparing the simulations with some existing experimental and numerical results.
