Insights in thixotropic concrete pumping by a Poiseuille flow extension

Thixotropy is a reversible time-dependent phenomenon in fluids, in which an internal structure grows due to flocculation and breaks down under shear action. Numerous fluids are thixotropic, e.g. concretes and cementitious suspensions. Pumping of concrete is an important application. Since current ap...
