Abstract:Treated tailings are known for their thixotropic rheological characteristics under flow, i.e. strength loss with time under constant shear rate, and strength gain at rest. Understanding and accurately quantifying the timedependency of strength in treated tailings is crucial to sediment management operations such as mixing, pumping, hydraulic transport, flow and deposition. The are several thixotropic models available in the literature. This paper sheds light on the similarities and differences of representativ… Show more
