Fundamentals of Rheology
نویسنده
چکیده
Some important fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics and rheology are discussed. First, we examine the basis for the continuum approximation of fluids, and the formulation of equations in the continuum description. Then, we look at stress-strain rate relationships for simple shear flows of both viscous and viscoelastic fluids. The extension of the description to complex flows, which involves the decomposition of the rate of deformation tensor into fundamental components, is discussed. The conservation laws for mass and momentum, and the constitutive relations in the momentum conservation equation are derived. The simple Maxwell model for polymeric fluids, which uses the bead-spring representation of the polymer chain, is discussed.

Rheology of biopolymer solutions and gels.
Rheological techniques and methods have been employed for many decades in the characterization of polymers. Originally developed and used on synthetic polymers, rheology has then found much interest in the field of natural (bio) polymers. This review concentrates on introducing the fundamentals of rheology and on discussing the rheological aspects and properties of the two major classes of biop...
متن کاملFundamentals of Rheology:
Rheology deals with the flow of complex fluids. Fluids are different from solids, because fluids continuously deform when there is an applied stress, as shown in figure 1(b), while solids deform and then stop, as shown in figure 1(a). Solids are said to have an ‘elastic’ response, and can resist an applied stress, while fluids do not have an elastic response, and deform continuously under stres...
متن کاملOptimization of Cement Spacer Rheology Model Using Genetic Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)
The primary cement job is a critical step in successful well completion. To achieve effective cementing job, complete mud removal from the annular is recommended. Spacer and flushers are used widely to achieve this goal. This study is about weighted cement spacer systems containing a surfactant package, weighting agent and rheological modifiers. Weighted spacer systems are utilized when a high ...

The Contribution of Observed and Unobserved Fundamentals to Exchange Rate Movements in Iran
Using a State-space model, this paper investigates the contribution of both observed and unobserved fundamentals to nominal exchange rate movement in Iran for the period 1991:2-2011:4. To this end, we follow Engel and West (2005) and Balke et al. (2013) and use an asset-pricing approach to develop a rational expectations present value exchange rate model. In order to examine the role of fun...
