Peristaltic Flow Characterization of a Shear Thinning Fluid Through an Elastic Tube by Uvp
In-vitro small intestinal flow characteristics of a shear thinning fluid are investigated by transient ‘2-wave’- squeezing of an elastic tube under different speeds of peristalsis. Such peristaltic flow is the essential physiological transport mechanism in the gastro-intestinal tract. The peristalsi...
