Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A theoretical framework has been constructed based on the structural kinetics theory. The Moore model has been investigated in depth. The proposed five parameter model allows the constant structure curves to be constructed with the data of the equilibrium flow curve alone. A model calibration procedure is proposed. The model has been extended to include the often observed static yield stress, which may be attributed to a secondary structure. The model has been validated using two constant structure data sets and two transient behaviour data sets found in the literature. The capability of the model to reproduce these data satisfactorily is very encouraging. The model well predicts hysteresis behaviour. The model has been implemented into a numerical model for the simulation of the flow in the gap of a concentric cylinder viscometer. The results provide better insight into the interpretation of rotational viscometer data. The relevance of many published viscometric data is again questioned in the light of the likely occurrence of a wall depletion layer which causes slip. |
