The term ”Rheology” was invented by Professor Bingham of
Lafayette College, Easton, PA, on the advice of a colleague, the
Professor of Classics. The definition of rheology (see section 2) was
accepted when the American Society of Rheology was founded in
1929.
Robert Hooke (1635-1703):
 in 1678 he developed his ”True Theory of Elasticy”:
”the power of any spring is the same proportion with the tension thereof”.
Isaac Newton (1643-1727):
 in 1687 he published the scientific book ”Principia”:
”the resistance which arises from the lack of slipperiness is proportional to the
velocity with which the parts of the liquid are separated from one another”.
In the 19th century scientists discovered solids with liquid-like
responses and liquids with solid-like responses.
Today, rheology is an integral part of industry. It is used by scientists
working with plastics, paint, inks, detergent, oils, drilling fluids, and
in quality and process control.

Difficult Subject
Rheology
1: Introduction
Rheology is a difficult subject.
2: Definition
3: Types of Fluids
4: Rheological
Flow Models
5: Measurements
For example, rheology is interdisciplinary and most scientists
and engineers have to move from a possibly restricted
expertise and develop a broader scientific approach.
6: Instruments
A cursory glance at most text books on rheology would soon
convince the non-mathematicians of the need to come to
terms with at least some aspects of non-trivial mathematics.
In this module we will give you an introduction to rheology
and explain mathematical complication to the nonspecialist.

Rheology
1: Introduction
2: Definition
A Newtonian fluid is a fluid or dispersion whose rheological
behaviour is described by Newton’s law of viscosity.
3: Types of Fluids
4: Rheological
Flow Models
5: Measurements
6: Instruments
There are different types of non-Newtonian fluids:
 Pseudoplastic, a shear-tinning fluid.
 Dilatant, a shear-thickening fluid.
 Thixotropic: pseudoplastic flow that is time-dependent. At
constant applied shear rate, viscosity gradually decreases.
 Viscoelastic, a liquid (or solid) with both viscous and elastic
properties.

Newtonian fluids are the simplest type of fluid and contain no
particles larger than a molecule. In an Newtonian fluid, such
as water or oil, the shear stress is directly proportional to the
shear rate, while the fluid is in laminar flow.

properties.

5: Measurements
6: Instruments
A viscoelastic liquid will deform and flow under the influence
of an applied shear stress, but when the stress is removed
the liquid will slowly recover from some of the deformation.
Viscoelastic fluids have molecules in which the loaddeformation relationship is time dependant.

The models are an idealized relationship of rheological
behaviour expressible in mathematical, mechanical or
electrical terms.
Mathematical flow models of greatest interest to the Drilling
Fluids Engineer are the Newtonian, Bingham Plastic and
Power Law models.
Each of these models relate flow rate (shear rate) to flow
pressure (shear stress) while the fluid is in laminar flow.
No mathematical model is capable of providing a truly complete
rheological analysis.
The Bingham Plastic model has limitations in both the low and high
shear rate ranges, while the Power Law model provides more
realistic data that can predict fluid behaviour at low rates with
greater accuracy.

All fluids exhibit a certain resistance to flow, which is loosely
termed viscosity. Viscosity is defined as the relationship
between the shear stress (flow pressure) and the shear rate
(flow rate).
A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose viscosity depends on
the force applied.
Temperature and pressure effects can alter rheological
properties drastically.
