Natural Convection in a Non-Newtonian Fluid: Effects of Particle Concentration

In this paper we study the buoyancy driven flow of a particulate suspension between two inclined walls. The suspension is modeled as a non-linear fluid, where the (shear) viscosity depends on the concentration (volume fraction of particles) and the shear rate. The motion of the particles is determin...
