A new method of describing thixotropy in waxy crude oil transported through pipelines is both accurate and more convenient than previous methods. Thixotropy is an important rheological behavior of ...

The term thixotropy consists of the Greek words "thixis" (touch) and "trepein" (to turn). It means change or transition due to mechanical load. In rheology thixotropic behavior is defined as ...

Yield stress fluids are materials that behave as elastic solids under low applied stresses but flow like viscous liquids once a critical threshold is exceeded. Their microstructure typically comprises ...
