Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 水利及海洋工程學系碩博士班 === 96 === Debris flow consists of mud, sand, gravel, and other solid materials mixed with water;therefore, its the rheological property depends on particle concentration, particle size distribution, and mineral composition. The Carbopol-940 slurry (acrylic polymer slurry) was used to simulate debris-flow slurry in the present study. The rheological properties of the Carbopol-940 slurry were measures first, and then the rheological properties of the mixtures of gravel-slurry that were formed by adding glass beads(5mm,10mm,16mm) and polystyrene particles(5mm) into the Carbopol-940 slurries respectively, were measured. The experimental results show that: (1) Both rheological properties of the Carbopol-940 slurry and the gravel-slurry mixtures could be described by the Bingham model, with rheological parameters (Bingham yield stress and Bingham viscosity) varied with particle concentration and particle size; (2) Under the same shearing rate (≦20 s-1), the Bingham yield stress and Bingham viscosity increased with the increase of particles concentration; (3) Under the same particle concentration of the gravel-slurry mixture, the smaller-size particles had larger influence on the Bingham yield stress and viscosity; (4) When the Carbopol-940 slurry had higher viscosity, the effect of the particle density on the Bingham yield stress and Bingham viscosity is not significant; (5) Non-uniform size of particles added in to the slurry resulted in greater increases of the Bingham yield stress and Bingham viscosity, compared with that added with uniform size particles. ; (6) Under the same particle concentration, the increase of Bingham yield stress could be 10%~30%, and the increase of Bingham viscosity could be 20~70% for the mixtures of two particle sizes in which the finer particles content was about 25% to 70%, compared with those for mixtures of uniform finer particles.
