Abstract. There are always debates on the use of power law to model flows having a local zero shear rate. This paper uses an original method to define a functional shear rate range with respect to the flow condition and identify an equivalent power law from a Cross-law fluid. The numerical and experimental results are compared to show the ability of the power law to model a flow having a low-shear region.
