 What’s is a fluid
• A fluid is a nonsolid state of
matter in which the atoms or
molecules are free to move
past each other, as in a as or
a liquid.

• Both liquids and gases are

considered fluids because
they can flow and changes
shape.

• Liquids have a definite

volume ; gases do not
 Types of fluid based on viscosity
• 1) Ideal Fluid
• 2) Real Fluid
• 3) Newtonian Fluid
• 4) Non- Newtonian Fluid
• 5) Ideal –Plastic Fluid
• 6) Compressible Fluid
• 7) Incompressible Fluid
 Ideal fluid

• A fluids is said to be ideal which it cannot be

compressed and the viscosity doesn’t fall in
the category of an ideal fluid
• It’s an imaginary fluid which
 Real fluid
• A fluid which is compressible has viscosity and
surface tension is known as real fluid
• All fluid in practice are real fluid
e.g. Water, petrol, kerosene etc.
 Newtonian fluid
• When the fluid obeys Newton's law of
viscosity, its known as a Newtonian fluid
• All gases and most liquids which have simpler
molecuar formula and low molecular weight
such as
- water
- benzene
- ethyl alcohol
 Non Newtonian Fluid
• When the fluid doesn't obey Newton's law of
viscosity its known as non Newtonian fluid
τ = -η dv/dy
• η is the apparent viscosity and is not constant
for non- Newtonian fluid
 Compressible Fluid
• When the density of the fluid change with the
application of external force its known as
compressible fluid
• Volume can be reduced with the application of
a pressure on the fluid
• Density can be changed with the application
of a pressure on the fluid
• Value of mach number should be greater than
0.3
 Incompressible Fluid
• When the density of the fluid doesn’t change
with the application of external force its
known as compressible fluid
• Volume cannot be reduced with the
application of a pressure on the fluid
• Density cannot be changed with the
application of a pressure on the fluid
• Value of mach number should be less than 0.3
• In which we are going discussion non –
Newtonain fluid because carreau fluid is
generalizated non – newtonian fluid that’s
Carreau Fluid Is Non Newtonian Fluid that’s
why
 Carreau Fluid
• The Carreau model is one type of non-Newtonian fluid model proposed
by Pierre Carreau.
• For generalized Newtonian fluids, the viscosity depends upon shear rate.
• The Carreau fluid behaves as a Power-law fluid at high shear rate and as
a non-Newtonian fluid at low shear rate.
• So the Carreau model will be helpful to compare the characteristics of
Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
• Several rheological categories had been attempted until 1972 to describe
sufficiently the attitude of non-Newtonian viscoelastic materials.
• Carreau introduced a successful model which is used extensively up to
date

 Basic Equations
Analysis problem in carreau fluid flow first we Know
the basic equations that’s are
• Governing Equation
• Carreau Rehological Equation
• Bounday layer theory
• Stagnation Point Flow
• Falkner Skan equation
• Brinkann Equation
 GOVERNING EQUATION
• The cornerstone of computational fluid
dynamics is the fundamental governing
equations of fluid dynamics—the continuity,
momentum and energy equations. These
equations speak physics.
