Effective Rheology of Bi-viscous Non-newtonian Fluids in Porous Media

We model the flow of bi-viscous non-Newtonian fluids in porous media by a square lattice where the links obey a piece-wise linear constitutive equation. We find numerically that the flow regime, where the network transitions from all links behaving according to the first linear part of the constitut...
