A pressure gradient forms between points S<sub>1<\/sub> and K at the top of the object. At the top of the object, in point K, the static pressure is minimal, and the velocity is maximal, only reduced by the frictional effect (v < v<sub>max<\/sub>).

The flow has zero velocity at the turnaround point W; however, since a pressure force acts from point S<sub>2<\/sub> towards point K, the decelerated fluid particles are pushed against the flow direction of the outer layer. This causes the fluid element around point W to swirl, creating a vortex. A vortex also develops on the bottom side of the cylinder, but with the opposite rotational direction.

When a particle rotates once around the core, it simultaneously rotates once around its own axis.

This depends on the viscosity, flow velocity of the fluid, and flow geometry. The transition from laminar to turbulent flow also depends on the geometric shape of the flow sections, the rounding of edges at the beginning of the pipe, pipe wall roughness, the turbulence of the incoming flow, etc. In real fluid flow, there is a transition area where both laminar and turbulent flows may occur under specific conditions.<\/em> (e.g., in a pipe)\n\nAccording to <strong><em>Hagen-Poiseuille&#8217;s law<\/em><\/strong>, the mean velocity of fluid flow is determined from the volumetric flow, see (HOLUBOV\u00c1, R.).\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Newtonian Fluids<\/em><\/h3> The viscosity of a Newtonian fluid depends only on temperature and follows a direct proportionality between shear stress and velocity gradient (Newton&#8217;s law of viscosity) (e.g., water, milk, sugar solution, mineral oils).<em> In the case of an ideally viscous material, the classical Newtonian law holds for shear stress, see equation (3).<\/em> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Non-Newtonian Fluids<\/em><\/h3> <strong><em>Time-dependent:<\/em><\/strong>\n<em>\u2013 thixotropic (becoming thinner over time, viscosity decreases with time) \u2013 used in chemistry, food industry (yogurt),<\/em>\n\n<em>\u2013 rheopectic (becoming thicker over time, viscosity increases with time) \u2013 not common, examples include plaster,<\/em>\n\n<strong><em>Time-independent:<\/em><\/strong> depends on temperature:\n\n\u2013 pseudoplastic (shear-thinning) \u2013 viscosity decreases with increasing shear stress (shampoo, concentrated juices, ketchup),\n\n\u2013 dilatant (shear-thickening) \u2013 viscosity increases with increasing shear stress (wet sand, concentrated starch suspensions),\n\n\u2013 plastic \u2013 have a yield point (curd, toothpaste).\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rheological Measurement Methods<\/h2> a) Absolute measurement \u2013 from <a href=\"https:\/\/fyzmatik.pise.cz\/1318-fyzika-proudeni-krve-poiseuilluv-zakon.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Poiseuille&#8217;s law<\/a>, we measure all other quantities,\nb) Relative measurement \u2013 comparison with a fluid whose dynamic viscosity is known <em>\u2013 Ostwald viscometer, H\u00f6ppler viscometer;<\/em>\n\nFlow, falling, and rotational viscometers are commonly used to measure viscosity, with only the last type and special capillary viscometers providing sufficient characterization of the flow curve for non-Newtonian fluids.

The relationship between microstructure and rheological properties is examined by microrheology. For the needs (not only) of chemical engineering, phenomenological rheology (macrorheology) of fluids is especially important, which treats them as a continuum and formulates the laws of viscous flow.\n<em>The mathematical expression of the flow properties of fluids is given by rheological state equations, which typically express the relationship between the shear (tangential, viscous) stress \u03c4 and the deformation of the fluid. Their graphical representation is the flow curve (HOLUBOV\u00c1, R).<\/em>\n\n<em>Rheological behavior of liquid materials plays an important role in many technological operations. Knowledge of basic rheological quantities, viscosity, yield point, and elasticity moduli is necessary not only for characterizing raw materials or products but also for solving many technical problems and engineering calculations when designing, improving, and controlling various manufacturing and transport equipment (HOLUBOV\u00c1, R).<\/em>\n\nRheology plays a significant role in technical tasks and engineering calculations, especially in safety-related fields, where there is substantial room for errors and neglect that can lead to major failures and accidents in the addressed area.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article builds on the articles on
