Simulating Non-Newtonian fluids in XLB

[DynoAbd786-Uni]

Hi.

Does XLB support the simulation of non-Newtonian fluids? I'm trying to model the shear-thinning effects of blood inside a 2D confined space (essentially a blood vessel). I think it's probably a case of creating another custom class to simulate the viscosity and, therefore, velocities at the walls, but considering that the examples:

1. Use a uniform Parabolic profile at the inlet as opposed to modeling according to the walls
2. Use a uniform relaxation parameter,

I'm not sure how exactly this would be implemented. Maybe instead of viscosity profiling, the bc profile would be velocity-based?

Thanks for your help
