3.6.2 Bingham plastic fluids The laminar axial flow of Bingham plastic fluids through a concentric annulus has generated even more interest than that for the power-law fluids, e.g. see refs. [Laird, 1957; Fredrickson and Bird, 1958; Bird et al., 1983; Fordham et al., 1991]. The main feature which distinguishes the flow of a Bingham plastic fluid from that of a power-law fluid is the existence of a plug region in which the shear stress is less than the yield stress. Figure 3.18 shows qualitatively the salient features of the velocity distribution in an annulus; the corresponding profile for a fluid without the yield stress (e.g. power-law fluid) is also shown for the sake of comparison In principle, the velocity distribution and the mean velocity of a Bingham plastic fluid flowing through an annulus can be deduced by substituting for the shear stress in equation (3.76) in terms of the Bingham plastic model, equation (3.10). However, the signs of the shear stress (considered positive in the same sense as the flow) and the velocity gradients in the two flow regions need to be treated with special care. With reference to the sketch shown in Figure 3.18, the shearing force on the fluid is positive (R r ??R) where the velocity gradient is also positive. Thus, in this region
