G. Barthelmes et H. Buggisch, A model for the influence of boundary layers on the rheology of agglomerating suspensions, CHEM ENG TE, 22(10), 1999, pp. 831
A simple general model for the interaction of hydrodynamic diffusion and th
e formation or destruction of agglomerates in a suspension is developed. Th
e intention is to show some possible effects of a combination of agglomerat
ion and hydrodynamic diffusion which may lead to interesting consequences f
or the rheological behavior of suspensions. Some examples are presented in
this paper.
