Thixotropy is a phenomenon related to time dependent change in viscosity in presence or absence of flow. The yield stress, on the other hand, represents the minimum value of stress above which steady flow can be sustained. In addition, the…
Thixotropy, anti-thixotropy, and viscoelasticity are three types of time-dependent dynamics that involve fundamentally different underlying physical processes. Yet distinguishing them can be very challenging, which hinders the understanding…
Owing to nonlinear viscoelasticity, materials often show characteristic features that resemble those of thixotropy. This issue has been debated in the literature over the past several decades, and several experimental protocols have been…
We use high-speed imaging to study the effect of thixotropic aging in drop impact of yield-stress fluids on pre-coated substrates. Our results reveal that drop splashing is suppressed for "aged" compared to "unaged" samples, indicating that…
There is no universal model for thixotropy, and comparing thixotropic effects between different fluids is a subtle yet challenging problem. We introduce a generalized (model-insensitive) framework for comparing thixotropic properties based…
An experimental study of the viscosity of a macroscopic suspension, i.e. a suspension for which Brownian motion can be neglected, under steady shear is presented. The suspension is prepared with a high packing fraction and is…
Rheological characterization of complex fluids subjected to cyclic shear-rate sweep often exhibits hysteresis. Since both viscoelastic and thixotropic materials show hysteresis loops, it is important to understand distinguishing features…
In this article, the extensional flow and viscosity and the converging-diverging geometry were examined as the basis of the peculiar viscoelastic behavior in porous media. The modified Bautista-Manero model, which successfully describes…
Multiphase systems are ubiquitous in engineering, biology, and materials science, where understanding their complex interactions and rheological behavior is crucial for advancing applications ranging from emulsion stability to cellular…
Thixotropic yields stress fluids are complex materials such as paint, drilling mud, and food products like ketchup or yogurt. They behave as a solid below a certain shear stress (called yield stress), and flows as a liquid above it. The…
Many thixo-viscoelastic materials have been reported to undergo enhancement in elastic modulus with time and decrease in the same under application of deformation field. Incorporation of this feature in a viscoelastic structural kinetic…
Complex fluids exhibit time-dependent changes in viscosity that have been ascribed to both thixotropy and aging. However, there is no consensus for which phenomenon is the origin of which changes. A novel thixotropic model is defined that…
We study the flow of a thixotropic fluid around a cylinder. The rheology of the fluid is described by means of a structural viscoplastic model based on the Bingham constitutive equation, regularised using the Papanastasiou regularisation.…
In the present work, we study the flow of thixotropic yield stress fluids between two concentric cylinders. In order to take into account the thixotropy, the constitutive relation uses a structural parameter which is driven by a kinetic…
Inspired by the chemical etching processes, where experiments show that growth rates depending on the local environment might play a fundamental role in determining the properties of the etched surfaces, we study here a model for kinetic…
In this work we analyze the stability and convergence properties of a loosely-coupled scheme, called the kinematically coupled scheme, and its extensions for the interaction between an incompressible, viscous fluid and a thin, elastic…
The flow properties of fresh concrete are critical in the construction industry, as they directly affect casting quality and the durability of the final structure. Although non-Newtonian fluid models, such as the Bingham model, are widely…
Due to rich rheological properties, dispersions of attractive colloidal particles are ubiquitous in industries. Specifically, upon experiencing a sudden reduction in shear rate, these dispersions may exhibit transient behaviors such as…
We propose a methodology for the rheological characterization of a semisolid metal slurry using experimental squeeze flow data. The slurry is modeled as a structural thixotropic viscoplastic material, obeying the regularized…
A detailed experimental and theoretical study has been performed about a phenomenon, not previously reported in the literature, occurring in highly viscous liquids: the formation of a definite pipe structure induced by the passage of a…
