Effective viscosity of a random mixture of fluids

The effective viscosity of mixtures is of interest for many applications. A model is proposed that relates this effective viscosity to minimal information regarding the microstructure of the mixture. This model is validated by means of direct numerical simulations of flows of these mixtures.
