The global aging population has brought about a pressing health concern: dysphagia. To
effectively address this issue, we must develop specialized diets, such as thickened fluids …

Considering the high levels of materials used in the fields of electronics and energy storage
systems, it is increasingly necessary to take into consideration environmental impact. Thus, it …

Mucus layer movement inside the airway system is an important phenomenon as the first
defensive mechanism against pathogens. This research deals with the mucus velocity …

Thixotropic materials are complex fluids that display time-dependent viscosity and/or yield-
stress response upon the application of a fixed deformation, while recovering their original …

Cemented tailings pastes (CTPs) exhibit complex thixotropic behaviors, which considerably
affect the accurate prediction of pressure drop in circular pipe transport. In this work, the …

Biopolymers have received widespread attention due to their beneficial characteristics, such
as like easy processing, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Concurrently, inorganic …

Abstract 3D printed silicones have demonstrated great potential in diverse areas such as
soft robots, tissue engineering, flexible sensors and energy dissipation. However, most …

We investigate numerically the influence of thixotropic effects on the impact of a drop onto a
thin film, a fundamental process in many technical systems. Direct numerical simulations are …

Mixing and homogenization in anaerobic digesters are affected by the flow curve of sludge.
The aim of this study is to mathematically express the flow curve of dense anaerobically …
