Mudflow Rheology and Dynamics

by Philippe Coussot

Overview

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:

· physical properties of suspensions
· shear rheometry with suspensions
· rheology of clay-water mixtures
· rheology of mud suspensions
· gradually and rapidly varied free surface flows

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.

Editorial Reviews

Focusing on homogeneous, concentrated muddy mixtures and the dynamics of their movements rather than on natural events, the author presents current knowledge in the field of mudflows. Topics include physical properties of suspensions, rheology and fluid dynamics, suspension rheology, shear rheometry with suspensions, rheology of clay-water mixtures, fundamental equations for viscoplastic flows, mudflow force, spreading, stoppage, and deposits.
