 rheology
The other name for these two fluids that obey the power law is Ostwalde-de Waele fluids.
Since these fluids vary exponentially, it is possible for them to be dilatant over one range of shear rates and pseudoplastic over a different range of shear rates.
Non-Newtonian time-independent fluids share the stress-strain relationship (strain is a function of stress and nothing else) with a few modifications.

 Prag paper
Stability problem for non-newtonian fluids (power-law fluids in particular) has been solved using the linear stability theory for the case of nearly parallel flows.
The same method is also shown to be applicable to two-layer Couette flow and semi-infinite configurations in which either both or at least one layer is constituted by a power-law fluid.
The residual layers of such fluids which may either be of newtonian or non-newtonian character could also adversely effect the performance of the aircraft.

 Untitled Document
The modified power-law model is applied in order to accurately calculate the whole region of shear rate from zero (Newtonian fluids) to infinity (power-law fluids).
The power-law model is frequently used in non-Newtonian fluid flow and its heat transfer analyses to predict the behavior of pseudoplastic or dilatant fluids.
However, this power-law model does not predict correctly the velocity distribution in the region of lower shear rates.

 numerical Solution of Reacting Laminar Flow Heat and Mass Transfer in Ducts of Arbitrary Cross-Sections for Power-Law Fluids/, Mohammad Ali Isazadeh; Supervised by: Arun S Mujumdar.
A general computer programme in Fortran is developed in this study for the solution of flow, heat and mass transfer problems for laminar reacting fluids in straight ducts of arbitrary cross-sections for Newtonian and purely viscous non-Newtonian fluids.
The computer programmes are employed for studies in the analysis of hydrodynamics and heat transfer in the thermal entrance regions of ducts of arbitrary cross-sections for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
The model and computer codes are validated by theoretical, experimental and numerical results from various sources.

 Non-Newtonian fluid
Non-Newtonian fluids may not have a well-defined viscosity.
A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid in which shear stress is not simply proportional solely to the velocity gradient, perpendicular to the plane of shear.

 Dekker.com - Pressure Behavior for Spherical Flow in a Reservoir of Non-Newtonian Power-Law Fluids
The power-law viscosity model is used to give the variation of the fluid viscosity with the spherical radius for a mathematical model of unsteady spherical flow for non-Newtonian fluids with wellbore storage and skin.
The pressure variations are similar to those for a Newtonian fluid at the early times, but at later times, the variation of the viscosity with the power-law exponent is important, so the pressure response differs from that for a Newtonian fluid.

 CHAPTER 6
In polymer processing it is the knee and power-law regimes that are of most importance.
These issues are also related to the appearance of solid-like features (elastic component) to polymeric fluids including self-siphoning behavior, bubble shape, flow stabilization, fibrillation (ability to form fibers) and fluid memory effects.
For a shear thinning fluid such as a polymer melt this requires ignoring the causes of a reduction in viscosity and treating a fluid at each shear rate as independent of the fluid at other shear rates.

 Gases and Fluids - Physics - Numericana
The law can be broken down into four statements which were historically studied separately (some, or all, of these may be invalid in elaborate models of actual fluids).
Darcy's Law (of which there's a more general tensor form) states that a porous material lets a fluid through at a rate inversely proportional to its viscosity and directly proportional to both the cross-sectional area and the gradient of the applied pressure (also called hydraulic gradient).
Like other "ideal gas" law, this law is only a fairly good approximation under ordinary conditions.

 42-4 A comparative evaluation of oscillating sphere, tube and coaxial cylinder viscometers for in-process measurement of power-law fluids
The power law parameters, n and k, were calculated in an off-line rheometer.
From previous studies performed in our laboratory, it was found that in-line viscometry often require additional calibration effort to provide agreement with offline methods.
For the proper application of process viscometry, it is necessary to evaluate the performance of in-line viscometers and the calibration methods for various fluid products of different viscosity ranges.

 Abstract 17: Rising Velocity of a Swarm of Spherical Bubbles in Power Law Fluids at High Reynolds Numbers
In this work, a theoretical scheme for estimating the rise velocity of a swarm of spherical bubbles through quiescent power law liquids at high Reynolds number is developed.
The effect of the power law index and the volume fraction of the gas on the rise velocity is elucidated.
The inter-bubble interactions have been accounted for by the use of a cell model.

 Power-law fluid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Newtonian fluid is a power-law fluid with a behaviour index of 1, where the shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate:
Also known as the Ostwald-de Waele power law, this mathematical relationship is useful because of its simplicity, but only approximately describes the behaviour of a real non-Newtonian fluid.
Pseudoplastic, or shear-thinning fluids have a lower apparent viscosity at higher shear rates, and are usually solutions of large, polymeric molecules in a solvent with smaller molecules.

 SPE 77708
First, a boundary layer approximation analysis was applied to the governing equations of continuity and motion of a power law fluid in the curved tubing flow geometry.
The resulting solutions of the velocity field were used to develop a new friction factor correlation in terms of generalized Dean number, coiled tubing curvature ratio, and flow behavior index of the power law model.
This work extends the range of applicability of the new correlation to fluids with flow behavior indices as low as 0.25, which would cover most fluids used for coiled tubing operations in the oil and gas industry.

 Power-law fluid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Newtonian fluid is a power-law fluid with a behaviour index of 1, where the shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate:
For this reason, the power law is only a good description of fluid behaviour across the range of shear rates to which the coefficients were fitted.
Also known as the Ostwald-de Waele power law, this mathematical relationship is useful because of its simplicity, but only approximately describes the behaviour of a real non-Newtonian fluid.
