Physical aging and thixotropy in sludge rheology
Appl. Rheol. 18:1 (2008) 13495 (8 pages)
►
a new technique of reconstruction of the velocity profile, the behaviour can be modelled by a unique equation
including liquid and solid components but also a structural parameter. It is also rigorously demonstrated that
the only one rheological behaviour in steady state in the liquid regime is a truncated power-law which can be
defined only for a shear rate and a shear stress higher than a critical value.
Moreover, the critical shear
rate and shear stress increase with the solid content and depend on the fractal dimension of flocs which implies
that thixotropic effects are all the more important as the sludge is thick and fresh.

Rheological Interpretation of the Slump test
Appl. Rheol. 12:3 (2002) 133-141

We examine the validity of the slump test for predicting the yield stress of polymeric suspensions and mineral suspensions. First we propose a modification of this test: in order to make measurements on fluids with high yield stress (of the order of several hundreds of Pascal) we add a mass at the sample top. From detailed observations of the slump in time we show that, for polymeric suspensions (hair gel and sewage sludges), two critical stresses can be distinguished which almost exactly correspond to the two critical stresses (respectively corresponding to a regime change and to the asymptotic slump) observed in rheometry during creep tests. Thus the slump test appears as a practiceful and relevant means to determine the intrinsic properties of these fluids. For mineral suspensions it is shown that the flow abruptly stops after a short time, a behaviour in agreement with the results of rheometrical tests carried out by progressively decreasing the applied stress. In that case the slump also appears to significantly depend on the procedure and cannot be related to a single property of the material.
