Rheological Behavior of Dilatant (Shear‐Thickening) Fluids. Part II. Mechanism and Theory

A theory for the rheological behavior of dilatant (shear‐thickening) fluids was developed. The theory based on physical‐chemical principles was shown to overcome the shortcomings of existing theories. In addition, it was found that the theory predicted the rheological behavior of dilatant (shear‐thi...

Description
Summary:A theory for the rheological behavior of dilatant (shear‐thickening) fluids was developed. The theory based on physical‐chemical principles was shown to overcome the shortcomings of existing theories. In addition, it was found that the theory predicted the rheological behavior of dilatant (shear‐thickening) fluids as affected by particle size, suspending medium characteristics, temperature, and concentration.
