The continuity and impulse equations: divu = 0, ρ u t = divt + f with the stress tensor: T = pi + T E (D), where D = 1 2 ( u + ( u) T ) is the strain tensor. For Bingham fluids T E (D) = 2µ(D)D = 2 where II D is the second invariant of D, ( ) η B + τ F (2II D ) 1 2 D II D = 1 2 ( TrD 2 (TrD) 2) = 1 2 TrD2. This form of T E holds only under a condition II T E > τf 2 else the material is considered as a rigid body: D = 0 for II T E τf 2. Two parameters: η B τ F Bingham viscosity, yield stress.

Discretization A collocated finite-volume scheme based on the idea from Schneider G.E., Raw M.J. Control Volume Finite- Element Method for Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Using Colocated Variables 1. Computational Procedure. Numerical Heat Transfer 11: 363 390 (1987) The fixed point method for the solution of the discretized system. The discretized system is represented in the form where A is a sparse matrix. A(x, q)x = f, The inner multi-grid method with ILU smoothers for the solution of the linear systems in the fixed point iteration. The model has been implemented on the base of UG toolbox (s. Bastian P., Birken K., Johannsen K., Lang S., Neuß N., Wieners C. UG a flexible software toolbox for solving partial differential equations. Comput Visual Sci 1: 27 40 (1997)).
The discretized problem: f(x, q) min, s. t. c(x, q) = 0, where f : R n 4 R and c : R n 4 R n. The Jacobian J = c x is assumed to be nonsingular. The dimention n of the constraint is very large application of structure exploiting methods to reduce the computation time. Numerical solution by a Reduced SQP method. Idea: Linearization of the constraint by a Taylor expansion: c(x, q) + J(x, q) x + c (x, q) q = 0, q imposing a quadratic subproblem with the approximate projected Hessian of the Lagrangian L(x, q, λ) = f(x, q) λ T c(x, q).
