Constant viscosity

Ver: 1
 

DESCRIPTION

For a Newtonian fluid, the constitutive equation has the form

S = 2 eta D

where S is the extra-stress tensor, D is the rate of deformation tensor, and eta is the viscosity.

A Newtonian liquid is characterized by a shear-rate independent viscosity :

F(g) = fac

where fac is the constant viscosity factor.

By default, fac = 1.
