Using a finite-element program, the drag on an unbounded fluid in an (inelastic) power-law fluid is estimated. Comparison with upper and lower bounds, and with experimental data is given. Some remarks on wall effects are also made, and it is shown that wall effects are negligible for \(n\leq 0.5\).
