Steady shear rate rheology of suspensions, as described by the giant floc model

Integral equation for calculation of distribution function of activation energy of shear viscosity

“…The rheological characteristics of these colloidal systems depend on the rates of break and renewal of the bonds between particles and macromolecules, i.e., on the thixotropy effects. A lot of different models was developed to describe the rheological properties of the colloidal systems [2,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The Ree and Eyring model [11][12][13] was used to explain shear viscosity of concentrated suspensions.…”
