Oscillations of non-Newtonian fluid in tank
by
Andrei Korobeinikov
Auckland University

Non-Newtonian fluids have more and more often become an object of transportation. It was obsorved for some time that vehicles containing such fluids sometimes demonstrate behavior which could be only explained by non-linearity characteristic of such fluids. In this talk we will discuss oscillations of non-Newtonian fluids in tanks.

A numerical method suitable for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids is suggested.

Examples of simulation demonstrate effects of non-linear properties.
