Abstract
Lubrication theory is applied to compute the deformation of two approaching particles suspended in a Generalized Newtonian fluid with linear elastic theory estimating deformation and force on the particles with respect to deformability δ. The relative viscosity of concentrated suspension with deformable particles in a Generalized New-tonian fluid is obtained for a simple cubic array configuration by using the results of deformation and force for two particles. Since the deformation of particles generates the freedom of moving particles geometrically, the suspension with deformable particles shows shear thinning behavior.
