Viscosity Model
Carreau-Yasuda Model
Zero Shear Viscosity
- Units: Pa-s
- Keyword: ZeroShearViscosity
- Description: Viscosity of the polymer at min shear rate. This model is characterized by a plateau as the shear rate tends to 0.
Infinite Shear Viscosity
- Units: Pa-s
- Keyword: InfiniteShearViscosity
- Description: Viscosity of the polymer at max shear rate. This model is characterized by a plateau as the shear rate tends to a large value.
Time Constant
- Units: seconds
- Keyword: TimeConstant (\lambda)
- Description: A parameter in the Carreau-Yasuda Model.
Transition Parameter
- Units: None
- Keyword: TransitionParameter (a)
- Description: Describes the Power-law behavior of the Carreau-Yasuda Model.
Power Law Index (Exponent)
- Units: None
- Keyword: PowerLawIndex
- Description: Describes the Power-law behavior of the Carreau-Yasuda Model.
Zero Shear Constant
- Units: None
- Keyword: ZeroShearConstant
- Description: Not a formal parameter of the Carreau-Yasuda Model and its value is always 1.0.
