In this paper a Lagrangian formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations, based on a Particle
Finite Element Approach, is applied to the simulation of rheological tests for homogenized
cement pastes and mortars, ie the L-box, slump and mini-slump and Marsh cone tests.
Comparisons with both experiments and analytical predictions are addressed by assuming
a simple Bingham-like constitutive model. The analyses explicitly and automatically account
for the presence of evolving free surfaces thanks to a continuous re-triangulation of the …
