Abstract:The thixotropic behaviors of Daqing waxy crude were studied experimentally with the help of the advanced strain controlled rheometer (ARES-G2). The experimental results indicated the decrease in viscosity can be divided into two continuous steps, and the recovery of viscosity consists of three continuous processes. Then a new method was used to model the thixotropic behavior combined with the experimental data, and the new method was based on a potential function that can characterize the recovery capability o… Show more
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.
