High solid dispersions are soft materials made of colloidal or non-colloidal particles
dispersed at high volume fractions in a liquid matrix. They include hard sphere glasses …

An experimental study using both a controlled stress and a controlled strain rheometer has
been undertaken to characterize lubricating grease in shear, creep, stress relaxation, and …

The grease industry today is saturated with products based on petroleum/mineral oils and
harsh (containing harmful chemicals) thickeners and additives. Such greases pose severe …

In this work, we present a novel magnetohydrodynamic flow study using micro-Particle
Image Velocimetry (m-PIV) in a rectangular channel under the effect of a uniform transverse …

In this paper, the flow dynamics of polymer greases was investigated using micro-particle
image velocimetry. Polymer greases have a different thickener structure, compared to widely …

We demonstrate that flows in confined systems are controlled by slip heterogeneities below
a certain size. To show this we image the motion of soft glassy suspensions in …

Power minimisation of fluid transport in branched fluidic networks has become of paramount
importance for microfluidics, additive manufacturing and hierarchical functional materials …

Grease is commonly used to lubricate various machine components such as rolling bearings
and seals. In this paper the flow of lubricating grease passing restrictions is described. Such …

In this paper, numerical simulations of lubricating grease flow in the grease pocket of a
double restriction seal geometry using computational fluid dynamics are presented. The …

A new method to visualize and quantify grease flow in between two sealing lips or, in
general, a double restriction seal is presented. Two setups were designed to mimic different …
