A theoretical study of the effect of rotation on annular displacement of one non-Newtonian fluid by another in horizontal concentric annuli
This paper presents a theoretical study of the effect of rotation of inner pipe on the laminar displacement efficiency of one power-law fluid by another in horizontal concentric annuli. Simulated results demonstrate a viscosity-reducing effect of the inner pipe rotation, which implies the possibility of promoting a mechanism for turbulent-flow displacement.
