The goal of this work is to investigate under which circumstances the tidal response a stratified body can be approximated by that homogeneous body. We show any multilayered planet model body, with same dissipation energy as function excitation frequency, long rheology sufficiently complex. Moreover we provide two straightforward methods for finding parameters would exhibit layered These result...

– We use a lattice Boltzmann (LB) kinetic scheme for modelling amphiphilic fluids that correctly predicts rheological effects in flow. No macroscopic parameters are included in the model. Instead, three-dimensional hydrodynamic and rheological effects are emergent from the underlying particulate conservation laws and interactions. We report evidence of shear thinning and viscoelastic flow for a...

Concentrated aqueous cornstarch (CS) suspensions are often used to demonstrate an extreme example of shear thickening rheological behaviour. Here, we describe the increased rheological complexity that occurs on the addition of poly(propylene glycol) 10 (PPG) to an aqueous CS suspension. The appearance of shear thickening/jamming, shear thinning, yield stress and near-Newtonian behaviours is dep...

in this study, the possibility of including probiotic starter cultures for making yoghurt was investigated. set yoghurts were made using three bio-cultures, all containing bifido-bacterium spp.. the effects of these starter cultures and total solids (i.e. addition of 0, 1 and 2% skim milk powder) on the rheological and sensory characteristics of the bio-yoghurts were compared with a standard st...

Microrheology can be used for high-throughput screening of the rheological properties of sample libraries of complex fluids. Two passive techniques are particularly suitable: video microscopy and diffusing-wave spectroscopy. The techniques complement each other very well and can be applied to samples that offer different experimental challenges. We offer a thorough analysis of the strengths and...

The magneto-rheological fluid Dual Clutch Transmission (MDCT for short) adopts the magneto-rheological (MR for short) effect of magneto-rheological fluid (MRF for short) and the working characters of Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT for short), and combines the characteristics with long service life, no wear, simple structure, accurate control of MR effect with the principles of DCT technology, it...

The accurate control of the wellbore pressure not only prevents lost circulation/blowout and fracturing formation by managing the density of the drilling fluid, but also improves productivity by mitigating reservoir damage. Calculating the geothermal pressure of a geothermal well by constant parameters would easily bring big errors, as the changes of physical, rheological and thermal properties...
