ZnO is attracting considerable attention for its possible application to UV light emitters, spin
functional devices, gas sensors, transparent electronics and surface acoustic wave devices …

Semisolid processing of metallic alloys and composites utilises the thixotropic behaviour of
materials with non-dendritic microstructure in the semisolid state. The family of innovative …

Numerical simulations of viscoplastic fluid flows have provided a better understanding of
fundamental properties of yield stress fluids in many applications relevant to natural and …

Semisolid processing originates with the research at MIT on the viscosity behaviour of
tin/lead alloys during solidification, published by Spencer, Mehrabian, and Flemings in …

We investigate the effect of particle shape on the transportation mechanism in well-drilling
using a three-dimensional model that couples computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with the …

The rheological behavior of semi-solid slurry is systematically studied via three different
testing modes under either shear stress or shear rate control mode. Then the non …

In this paper, a Lagrangian formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations, based on the
smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach, was applied to determine how well …

Elongational flow behavior of w/o emulsions has been investigated using a capillary
breakup elongational rheometer (CaBER) equipped with an advanced image processing …

Apparent elongational yield stresses of soft matter including polymer gels, highly
concentrated emulsions, and aggregated suspensions have been determined from step …

This study aims to experimentally and theoretically investigate the roles of a threaded nozzle
and yield stress in the coaxial air blast atomization of a gelled jet by means of rheological …
