Abstract
In this technical brief, we report the results of a systematic numerical investigation of developing laminar pipe flow of yield stress fluids, obeying models of the Bingham-type. We are able to show that using a suitable choice of the Reynolds number allows, for high Reynolds number values at least, the development length to collapse to the Newtonian correlation. On the other hand, the development length remains a weak, nonmonotonic, function of the Bingham number at small values of the Reynolds number (Re≤40).
