Unsteady flow of thixotropic liquid in pipes is solved by 1D and 2D numerical methods using the same constitutive equation — the only difference is in the radial diffusion of the structural parameter. Comparison shows that the neglected diffusion of structural parameter implicates a much stronger effect of thixotropy. The models are applied for analysis of the observed hysteresis of hydraulic characteristic of collagen.Downloads
