ABSTRACT=This numerical study is about the steady of incompressible fluid flow in a channel with static obstacles. The flow field is governed by the Generalized Navier-Stokes equation incorporating the constitutive relation of Power-Law fluids. Three cases are considered (i). Circular obstacle (ii) semicircular obstacle (iii). Both circular and semicircular obstacles. A range of values of the Power-law index 0.2
