Applied Flow Technology’s leading pipe system modeling software, AFT Fathom™, is now able to address both non-settling slurries and general non-Newtonian fluids by calculating viscosity changes and the frictional effects of these fluids on pipes, valves and fittings when designing a system. Announcing the newest addition to the AFT Fathom family, the Non-Settling Slurry Module (NSL).
Using widely accepted methodologies, the NSL module automates the process of determining Power Law and Bingham Plastic constants for non-Newtonian fluids, avoiding the pitfalls of manual calculations. Raw, rheological test data can be accepted and manipulated to make it useful for full scale engineering designs, calculations, and simulations. The NSL module also offers a method to adjust junction and fitting loss data to extend turbulent data into the laminar region to compensate for non-Newtonian fluid behavior. All of this within the framework of the class leading incompressible flow analysis tool, AFT Fathom.
