A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

Yield stress fluids are encountered in a wide range of applications: toothpastes, cements,
mortars, foams, muds, mayonnaise, etc. The fundamental character of these fluids is that …

Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids, Second Edition continues to
provide thorough coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

Presenting current knowledge in the field of mudflows, this book includes both rheological
mudflow aspects, and information on mudflow characteristics in open channels. It includes …

Various types of flow or mass movement involving water and sediments occur on steep
slopes in mountainous areas. Among them, debris flows are peculiar events during which a …

Flows of materials with yield are analysed by using a continuous viscoplastic equation
(CVE) that eliminates the necessity of tracking material yield surfaces. These flows are …

Viscoplasticity is characterized by a yield stress, below which the materials will not deform
and above which they will deform and flow according to different constitutive relations …

For more than 20 years it has been debated if yield stress fluids are solid below the yield
stress or actually flow; whether true yield stress fluids exist or not. Advocates of the true yield …

To predict debris flow characteristics it is necessary to determine the rheological properties
of these mixtures. It is suggested that such a mixture can be obtained by adding …

The sedimentation of a single particle in materials that exhibit simultaneously elastic,
viscous and plastic behavior is examined in an effort to explain phenomena that contradict …
