Numerical simulation of the settling behaviour of particles in thixotropic fluids
A numerical study on the settling behaviour of particles in shear-thinning thixotropic fluids has been conducted. The numerical scheme was based on the volume of fluid model, with the solid particle being likened to a fluid with very high viscosity. The validity of this model was confirmed through c...
