David G. Thomas
- 01 Mar 1965 - 
- Vol. 20, Iss: 3, pp 267-277
TLDR
In this article, a critical analysis of the extensive experimental data on the relative viscosity of suspensions of uniform spherical particles was made, and the coefficients of different power series relating relative visco-solutions and volume fraction solids were determined using a nonlinear least squares procedure.

The physics of debris flows

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model that satisfies most of these criteria uses depth-averaged equations of motion patterned after those of the Savage-Hutter theory for gravity-driven flow of dry granular masses but generalized to include the effects of viscous pore fluid with varying pressure.

Particle reinforced aluminium and magnesium matrix composites

TL;DR: In this article, the current status of particle reinforced metal matrix composites is reviewed and the different types of reinforcement being used, together with the alternative processing methods, are discussed, and different factors have to be taken into consideration to produce a high quality billet.
MonographDOI

The Rock Physics Handbook

TL;DR: The third edition of the reference book as discussed by the authors has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the fundamental theory, concepts, and laboratory results, and highlights applications in unconventional reservoirs, including water, hydrocarbons, gases, minerals, rocks, ice, magma and methane hydrates.

One-dimensional drift-flux model and constitutive equations for relative motion between phases in various two-phase flow regimes

TL;DR: In this article, the kinematic constitutive equation for the drift velocity has been studied for various two-phase flow regimes, and a comparison of the model with various experimental data over various flow regimes and a wide range of flow parameters shows a satisfactory agreement.
MonographDOI

Colloidal Suspension Rheology

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce colloid science and rheology, and present an overview of colloid physics and its applications in viscoelastic media. But they do not discuss the role of non-spherical particles.

The viscosity of a concentrated suspension of spherical particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the viscosity equation for an infinitely dilute suspension of spheres to apply to a suspension of finite concentration, and made use of a functional equation which must be satisfied if the final viscosities is independent of the sequence of stepwise additions of partial volume fractions of the spheres to the suspension.

Behaviour of macroscopic rigid spheres in Poiseuille flow Part 1. Determination of local concentration by statistical analysis of particle passages through crossed light beams

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus is described for determining particle passages through any selected point on a tube cross-section, based on the simultaneous blocking out of two mutually perpendicular light beams by a particle passing through their common region.

Die Viskosität von Emulsionen hochviskoser Stoffe als Funktion der Konzentration

TL;DR: In this article, Bredee and de Booys and von Houwink and Klaassens vorgeschlagenen Formeln zur Beschreibung der Viskositat disperser Systeme werden verglichen with Bestimmungen, with runden, nichtverformbaren Teilchen, normal von Emulsionen hochviskoser Kohlenwasserstoffe.
