Abstrakt: This contribution aims to determine the error introduced by assuming constant viscosities in the calculation of the flow factors for non-Newtonian fluids. For this purpose, a simulation model based on the generalized Reynolds equation according to Dowson is used to evaluate shear thinning effects for various oils as well as different technical surfaces.
