Aging, Rejuvenation and Thixotropy in Complex Fluids: Time-dependence of the Viscosity at Rest and under Constant Shear Rate or Shear Stress
Complex fluids exhibit time-dependent changes in viscosity that have been ascribed to both thixotropy and aging. However, there is no consensus for which phenomenon is the origin of which changes. A novel thixotropic model is defined that incorporates aging. Conditions under which viscosity changes...
