In the current work a mathematical model is presented in order to predict pressure propagation in transient compressible non-Newtonian flow problems. The physical problems dealt are: i) fluid hammer problem; ii) pressure transmission in well drilling fluids and; iii) flow start-up of waxy crude oils in pipelines. The flow is considered one-dimensional, weakly compressible and isothermal. The model is based on the mass balance and momentum balance equations that are solved iteratively by the method of characteristics. The fluid compressibility is considered by employing a equation of state that correlates fluid density and pressure. Two constitutive models were used to represent the fluid behavior: viscoplastic and thixotropic. The shear str...
