Mudflow Rheology and Dynamics

<p>Presenting current knowledge in the field of mudflows, this book includes both rheological mudflow aspects, and information on mudflow characteristics in open channels. It includes sections on:<br><br>· physical properties of suspensions<br>· shear rheometry with suspensions<br>· rheology of clay-water mixtures<br>· rheology of mud suspensions<br>· gradually and rapidly varied free surface flows<br><br>Part of the IAHR Monograph Series, this informative book also includes fundamental equations for viscoplastic flows and provides the reader with helpful introductions to all the aspects it covers.</p> Physical properties of suspensions; introduction to rheology and fluid dynamics; introduction to suspension rheology; shear rheometry with suspensions; rheology of clay-water mixtures; rheology of mud suspensions; fundamental equations for viscoplastic flows; uniform flows; roll waves; gradually and rapidly varied free surface flows.
