Abstract

The extension to non-Newtonian viscous incompressible fluid flows of a finite-element method using a nine-node isoparametric Langrangian element with a penalty approach for the continuity equation is studied. The Bingham fluid is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the approach. An application to limit load analysis is also considered.
