  • Author: Amir Hirsa, Juan Lopez
Non-Newtonian fluids with a free surface are widely studied due to their prevalence in space-based applications including food processing, 3D-printing, and sampling of biological fluids for health monitoring, where reduced gravity can unmask the interaction of bulk and interfacial stresses. Significant resources have been spent on coupled problems in systems with negligible inertia. Predictive modeling of coupled systems that include fluid inertia is lagging behind, impacting progress in both Earth and space-based science and technology, including manufacturing of pharmaceuticals.
