A constitutive relation is proposed that is capable of predicting a wide range of experimental rheological behavior depending on the proper choice of the parameters. The model represents the otherwise discontinuous Bingham behavior as a continuous model. This model is simple and easy for numerical implementation and therefore can be used in the modeling of other materials processing problems.
