4.14.2.4 Powell-Eyring Model
The material type for a Powell-Eyring model [22] is “Powell-Eyring”. The following material parameters must be defined:
<mu0> | shear viscosity at zero shear rate, | [P t] |
<mui> | shear viscosity at infinite shear rate, | [P t] |
<lambda> | time constant | [t] |
The viscous shear stress for this material model is where Here, is the engineering shear rate.
Example:
<viscous type="Powell-Eyring"> <mu0>0.056</mu0> <mui>0.0035</mui> <lambda>5.4</lambda> </viscous>
