Define a Non-Newtonian Fluid

In a Simulation file, with the analysis type set to Flow or Coupled Thermal-Flow,

  1. Choose Home tab→Properties group→Modeling Objects .

  2. In the Modeling Object Manager dialog box, select Non-Newtonian Fluid and click Create.

  3. In the Non-Newtonian Fluid dialog box, specify a name for the modeling object.

  4. Select a previously defined material from the Affected Fluid Material list, or click Choose Material to create one.

  5. From the Type menu, select the type of non-Newtonian fluid model to create.

  6. Specify appropriate values for the Additional Fluid Properties options.

  7. Click OK.

  8. In the Simulation Navigator, right-click the solution node and choose Edit.

  9. In the Solution dialog box, click the 3D Flow node.

  10. Expand the Additional Parameters group, and in the Non-Newtonian Fluid row, click the Modeling Objects Manager on the Non-Newtonian Fluid row.

  11. In the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, under the Selection group, select the previously created Non-Newtonian Fluid modeling object and click Add to List.

  12. Click Close.

  13. In the Solution dialog box, click OK.
