Phenomenological Approach of the Effective Viscosity of Hard Sphere Suspensions in Shear-Thinning Media
Appl. Rheol. 16:3 (2006) 145-151
►
In this work we investigate the rheological behaviour of macroscopic buoyant hard spheres dispersed in a shearthinning
suspending fluid. We focus on the phenomenological study of the influence of the shear-thinning
behaviour of the suspending medium on the effective apparent suspension viscosity at different volume fractions.
In the oil industry, the effective viscosity concept is widely used and very useful to quickly characterize a
change of viscosity due to an increase of the solid content. Viscosity measurements are compared to the effective
viscosity of a suspension of hard spheres in an Ostwald fluid. The power law index of the suspending fluid
is shown, both experimentally and theoretically, to influence strongly the volume fraction dependence of the
suspension effective viscosity. All experimental results are shown to be quite correctly plotted on a master curve,
with only one adjustable parameter, the maximum packing fraction φ_m. The best fit is obtained for φ_m = 0.57,
corresponding to the theoretical maximum random packing volume fraction.

Rheological Properties of a Natural Estuarine Mud
Appl. Rheol. 13:3 (2003) 142-149
►
In this paper, the linear and non-linear rheological properties of estuarine cohesive sediments were investigated. The density of the sediments has been determined by pycnometry. Creep and oscillatory shear measurements have been performed in order to determine i) the transitions in mechanical response to creep and oscillatory shear and ii) the material properties of these natural fluids as a function of their density. For all samples tested, four different rheological transitions have been determined and all material properties have been shown to be satisfactorily fitted by exponential functions of the density.
