Rheological Characterization of Yield-Stress Materials: Flow Pattern and Apparent Wall Slip

An experimental and numerical investigation of the rotational rheometry of yield-stress materials is performed, using waterbased Carbopol dispersions. The flow and fluid characterization in different rheometer geometries, namely the smooth Couette, the grooved Couette, and the vane-in-cup are analys...
