Critical oscillation characteristics of fluidic oscillators operating with power-law fluids.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To elucidate the complex rheological behavior of non-Newtonian fluids in fluidic control components, this study systematically investigates the coupled control mechanism of rheological parameters-specifically, the flow behavior index n (representing shear-thinning capability) and the consistency index K (representing global viscous resistance) -along with the oscillation chamber expansion angle ([Formula: see text]) on the oscillation onset characteristics of a feedback fluidic oscillator. Based on unsteady numerical simulations, the topological bifurcation laws governing the evolution from "self-excited oscillation" to "steady straight jet" are revealed. The results indicate that: The strong coupling effect between the consistency index K and the flow behavior index n is the decisive factor for oscillation onset. The precise critical threshold is identified at [Formula: see text](K[Formula: see text]0.163); exceeding this threshold causes the Coanda effect to fail due to excessive viscous barriers. Two distinct states of oscillation cessation are identified: "marginal locking" and "deep locking". For the marginal condition (n = 0.61), increasing inlet velocity can break the viscous constraint to achieve dynamic unlocking, whereas the high-consistency condition (n = 0.71) exhibits an irreversible deadlock state. Furthermore, the expansion angle [Formula: see text] significantly suppresses oscillation stability. Even under strong shear-thinning conditions (n = 0.3) favorable for oscillation, an angle exceeding [Formula: see text] accelerates flow degradation by weakening the wall-attachment pressure gradient. This study establishes a rheology-geometry-dynamics coupled criterion for oscillation onset, providing theoretical support for the optimization of fluidic components operating with complex working fluids.
