In this work some theoretical aspects of constitutive equations for thixotropic fluids and restrictions on their functional forms are formally discussed. In the current study a formal emphasis has been given to the structural nature of this substances. The behavior of thixotropic fluids is analyzed in terms of simple isothermal laminar shear flow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
