Abstract
Analytic forms are presented for velocity profiles in two-dimensional channel flow for a non-Newtonian fluid when the fluid is subject to a pressure gradient. The forms reduce to those of the Navier-Stokes theory, e.g., the Poiseuille form for the velocity profile, as the fluid tends to a Newtonian fluid. Therefore they are nonlinear generalizations of Poiseuille-type flow velocity profiles.Keywords
