Viscosity of Structured Disperse Systems

Abstract

A generalized viscosity equation has been proposed for structured disperse systems with their peculiar rheological properties. Some characteristic features of the viscosity curve have been revealed at the beginning of structuration. Different variants of viscosity equations for structured disperse systems have been considered, and their comparison with the experimental data has been performed. The possibilities of estimating the porosity and shear viscosity of structured media with a fixed layer of particles have been demonstrated.
