Steady Two-Dimensional Non-Newtonian Flow Past an Array of Long Circular Cylinders up to Reynolds number 500: A Numerical Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The free surface and zero vorticity cell models have been combined with the equations of motion to investigate numerically the steady flow of incompressible power-law (shear-thinning and shear-thickening) fluids across banks of long cylinders. The equations of motion in the stream function/vorticity formulation have been solved numerically using a second order accurate finite difference method to obtain extensive information on the behaviour of the drag coefficient, surface vorticity distribution, streamlines and iso-vorticity patterns, for high Reynolds numbers (Re = 50 500) and using a wide range of power-law index (0.3 ≤ n ≤ 2.0), and porosity (0.4 ≤ e ≤0.9) values. The behaviour of the aforementioned parameters at low Reynolds numbers has also been investigated and validated using theoretical and numerical work from the literature. The results reported here enable extension of the limits of creeping flow behaviour up to Re = 50 for fluids with highly shear-thickening characteristics under low porosity conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
