Hydrology of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Nanofluid Flows

Rheology, a branch of physics, concerns itself with the deformation of both solids and fluids when subjected to various forces. Fluids, specifically, can be classified into two categories, i.e., Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid substances exhibit distinct responses when subjected to the various forces encountered in the course of their processing. These forces encompass system pressure, velocity, and the friction that arises at the surfaces of pipes or tubes. While understanding the thermal behavior and flow control of these fluid types is of utmost importance in numerous practical scenarios such as thermal and chemical industrial processes, food processing, crystal growth, hydrology, polymer engineering, geophysics, and heat exchangers, among others, when working at the nanoscale, further efforts to advance the field are still deemed necessary.



The purpose of this Special Issue on nanofluid rheology is to collect the most recent developments in the area, exploring various phenomena that are pertinent to the theory of heat transfer and fluid transportation, including natural resources, biomedical, industrial processes, etc., and industrial applications. In this regard, a platform is provided for researchers to present considerable, innovative, and unpublished research, which will significantly advance the discipline and positively impact the journal and research community.
