Transport Phenomena in Viscoplastic Materials

摘要

This chapter focuses on various transport phenomena in yield stress materials. After a brief introduction, an overview of the phenomenology of the solid-fluid transition is given in Sect. 2. Section 3 introduces a microscopic theory able to describe the solid-fluid transition in both thixotropic and non-thixotropic yield stress materials. A discussion of the hydrodynamic stability of yield stress materials is presented in Sect. 4. Some non-isothermal transport phenomena are discussed in Sect. 5.
