Cessation of the lid-driven cavity flow of Newtonian and Bingham fluids
Syrakos, A.; Georgiou, G. C.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2016)We provide benchmark results for a transient variant of the lid-driven cavity problem, where the lid motion is suddenly stopped and the flow is left to decay under the action of viscosity. Results include Newtonian as well ...

Determination of the rheological parameters of self-compacting concrete matrix using slump flow test
Neophytou, Marina K. A.; Pourgouri, S.; Kanellopoulos, A. D.; Petrou, Michael F.; Ioannou, I.; Georgiou, G.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2010)The classification of a concrete mixture as self-compacting (SCC) is performed by a series of empirical characterization tests that have been designed to assess not only the flowability of the mixture but also its segregation ...

Determining true material constants of semisolid slurries from rotational rheometer data
Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Georgiou, G. C.; Economides, E. A.; Modigell, M. (2016)In this work we revisit the issue of obtaining true material constants for semisolid slurries. Therefore, we consider the circular Couette flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids. We first show how true constants can be obtained ...
