VII. MATH MODELS

VII.1 The Power Law (Ostwald) Model

(τ=shearstress,k=consistencyindex, =shearrate,andn=owindex)

What does it tell you?

ThePowerLawmodelprovidesaconsistencyindex,k,whichisaproduct’sviscosityatone

reciprocalsecond.(Reciprocalsecondsaretheunitsofmeasurementforshearrate.)Italso

providesaowindex,n,whichindicatesthedegreewithwhichamaterialexhibitsnon-Newtonian

owbehavior.SinceNewtonianmaterialshavelinearshearstressvs.shearratebehaviorand

ndescribesthedegreeofnon-Newtonianow,theowindexessentiallyindicateshow“non-

linear”amaterialis.

decreasesasshearrateincreases.Theclosernisto0,themoreshearthinningthematerialis.

Whenn>1theproductisshear-thickeningorDilatant.Theirapparentviscosityincreasesas

shearrateincreases.

When should you use it?

Thismodelshouldbeusedwithnon-Newtonian,time-independentuidsthatdonothaveayield

stress.Theseuidswillbegintoowunderanyamountofshearstress.Graphsofsuchmaterial
