Abstract

This paper presents finite element analysis of non-Newtonian fluid flow in 2-d branching channel. The Galerkin method and mixed finite element method are used. Here the fluid is considered as incompressible, non-Newtonian fluid with Oldyord differential-type constitutive equation. The non-linear algebraic equation system which is formulated with finite element method is solved by means of continuous differential method. The results show that finite element method is suitable for the analysis of non-Newtonian fluid flow with complex geometry.
