Research problems linked to this topic
- Wastewater sludge are characterized by complex rheological properties, strongly dependent on solids concentration and temperature.
- It is well known that granular materials are not homogeneous, i.e. the forces between grains are localized in force chains.
- Accurately characterizing the non-linear rheological properties of materials remains a challenge.
- The development and use of concrete rheometers has undergone a shift from complicated to more simple geometries over the last 50 years, mainly due to the introduction of flowable concrete mixtures.
- Surfactants reduce the interfacial tension of oil-water and hence favor emulsification; however, attention has rarely been focused on the effect of interfacial dilational rheology on drop breakage.
- In pipelines, solid compounds including gas hydrates and asphaltenes may form/precipitate and accumulate on the pipe surface, leading to a gradual stenosis of the flowline.
