The transition to asymmetry in pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids
This thesis focuses on a particularly confusing aspect of the pipe flow of shear-thinning polymer solutions, which remains unexplained despite its ubiquity in all experimental results since its discovery around 2 decades ago. This is the observation that, time-averaged velocity profile was axisymmet...
