Concrete pumping technology is the most widely used method for concrete construction. To
avoid the issues of segregation and pipe blockage etc., this technology necessitates …

This paper is concerned with particle migration in pressure-driven laminar pipe flows of
relatively dilute suspensions of nanoparticles (nanofluids), one of the most frequently used …

The prediction of concrete pumpability is of particular interest to properly design pumping
circuits and select suitable pumps for successful processing of concrete. A critical review of …

In this work, a two-phase mixture model for evaluation of flow and heat transfer performance
of SiO 2/water nanofluids under turbulent flow was proposed by considering the …

In this paper, the authors have focused on shear-induced particle migration (SIPM), its effect
on concrete flow patterns, and lubricating layer formation during pumping. For this purpose …

The indirect quantification of apparent wall slip of highly concentrated suspensions in
pressure driven flows is commonly performed using a Mooney analysis. To prevent poor fits …

In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed to simulate the pipe flow of
18 self-consolidating and four highly-workable concrete mixtures in a 30-m long pumping …

When concrete is being pumped, a lubricating layer forms at the interface of the inner
concrete and the wall of the pipe. The lubricating layer is one of the most dominant factors in …

Flow and heat transfer characteristics of the suspensions containing Fe 3 O 4 magnetic
nanoparticles have been evaluated in turbulent flow regime. The effects of particle migration …

In this study, concentration distribution was obtained for nanofluid laminar flow in circular
pipe. The effects of viscosity gradient, shear rate and Brownian diffusion on particle …
