      Flow instabilities of Herschel-Bulkley fluids 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Menn, P. Le; Georgiou, G.; Entov, V. (2003)
      We investigate numerically the interactions of two-dimensional jets of Bingham plastic and Herschel-Bulkley fluids with a vertical surface at a distance from the die exit. This problem simulates the early stages of filling ...

      Inertial, viscous and yield stress effects in Bingham fluid filling of a 2-D cavity 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Duc, E.; Entov, V. (2001)
      The present study concentrates on Bingham fluid filling of a 2-D cavity and examines the relative importance of inertial, viscous and yield stress effects on the filling profile. The results presented are obtained using ...

      On the determination of yield surfaces in Herschel-Bulkley fluids 

      Burgos, G. R.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Entov, V. (1999)
      Herschel-Bulkley fluids are materials that behave as rigid solids when the local stress τ is lower than a finite yield stress τ0, and flow as nonlinearly viscous fluids for τ > τ0. The flow domain then is characterized by ...

      On the steady-state advancement of fingers and bubbles in a Hele-Shaw cell filled by a non-Newtonian fluid 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Entov, V. (1997)
      The problem of steady-state propagation of a finger or a bubble of inviscid fluid through a Hele-Shaw cell filled by a viscous non-Newtonian, including visco-plastic (Bingham) fluid is addressed. Only flows symmetric ...

      Thixotropic rheology of semisolid metal suspensions 

      Burgos, G. R.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Entov, V. (2001)
      Understanding the time-dependent flow behavior of semisolid materials (SSM) is essential for the simulation of semisolid processes. During processing, the structure of the material changes with the processing history due ...
