Abstract
The flow of a Reiner-Rivlin fluid with two viscosity coefficients through the entrance region of a circular pipe has been studied numerically. In particular the growth of the entrance length as a function of the Reynolds number and the non-Newtonian parameters has been examined. Where comparison could be made, the results have been compared with existing experimental -and numerical data as well as the limited theoretical work available.
