Rheology of structured liquids. “Neutonian”
behavior
Abstract
Abstract. The behavior of low molecular weight non-Newtonian fluids (liquid
paraffin, silicone oil, FC70 oil) in which shear thinning is observed at low
shear rates is considered. Over a large range of high shear rates, a behavior
similar to the “Newtonian” behavior is observed, where the shear viscosity is
practically constant. An explanation of this type of “Newtonian” flow from the
point of view of a structural rheological model is proposed.
Key words: rheology, structural rheological
model, “Newtonian” behavior, high shear rates.
