Hi all,

I would like to simulate the thixotropic (time-dependent shear thinning) fluids in Fluent. Is there any model available for them in this software?

Please help me if you experienced this kind of problem. Thanks a lot in advance.

One possible way is using a "user defined function" to define the fluid viscosity time-dependent, this will work. I'm afraid there is no simplier way.
