Abstract:The commencement of the flow reversal phenomenon is investigated which occurs in the daughter branch of a vertical T‐channel for the flow of Bingham plastic fluids. The combined influences of the imposed forced flow and buoyancy‐driven flow are analyzed at low Reynolds numbers. The mixed convection flow of a Bingham model fluid is explored for a wide range of conditions in terms of Prandtl number, Richardson number, and Bingham number. The critical Richardson number is strongly influenced by the Prandtl number… Show more
