Simulating viscometry with suspensions

摘要

Suspensions continue to provide interesting ways of keeping rheologists busy. The fact that these fluids appear everywhere - both in nature and in industry - gives us an incentive to learn more about how they behave. Biood, ceramics, paint and adhesives can all be described as a background fluid in which small particles are distributed. The question for us is how the particles and fluid interact and hence affect the behaviour of the entire suspension.
