Abstract
A study is made of the plane convergent forced flow of an incompressible liquid with anomalous viscosity, whose rheological properties obey a power law. A reduction in flow cross section leads to the development of a counterpressure whose existence produces near the inlet a counterflow in the region adjacent to the fixed wall. By analogy with the case of plane-parallel flow an equation is derived for the volume flowrate per unit width of a plane convergent flow.
