Phenomenological Approach of the Effective Viscosity of Hard Sphere Suspensions in Shear-Thinning Media

In this work we investigate the rheological behaviour of macroscopic buoyant hard spheres dispersed in a shear-thinning suspending fluid. We focus on the phenomenological study of the influence of the shear-thinning behaviour of the suspending medium on the effective apparent suspension viscosity at...
