Thinning of kaolin slurry
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Konfršt, Jiří
After mixing kaolin with water attractive and repulsive forces between kaolin particles initiate process of coagulation and peptisation, respectively. The coagulation process in the kaolin slurry gives rise to voluminous aggregates of kaolin particles, where a great deal of water is fixed.
Laminar and turbulent transition in fine-grained non-Newtonian slurries
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk
The transition from laminar to turbulent flow regime is very important for design and operation of non-Newtonian slurries pipelining. The paper deals with experimental investigation of laminar/turbulent transition, flow behaviour and rheological parameters of fine grained highly concentrated non-Newtonian slurries in horizontal pipes. Research is focussed on different character of slurry behaviour in laminar and turbulent region and verification of prediction turbulent model.
Application of hydraulically filled bags in flood protection
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Vatolík, K. ; Pařenica, J.
The paper deals with introducing and application of equipment and technology being suitable for prompt and operative building of new and/or improving the contemporary levees and elimination of local impact of water erosion or scour during flood events. The proposed solution is based on utilisation of special large-voluminous bags, filled hydraulically by a mixture of water and environmentally acceptable loose material.
Turbulentní tokové charakteristiky nenewtonovských jemnozrnných suspenzí při proudění v potrubí
El-Nahhas, K. ; Vlasák, Pavel
The prediction of the turbulent flow pressure losses for non-Newtonian suspensions is still one of the difficult theoretical and practical problems. The difficulty results from the fact that the turbulent flow behaviour could be found independent on the rheological characteristics determined experimentally form laminar data. The aim of the paper is experimentally investigate the turbulent flow behaviour of non-Newtonian fine-grained suspensions flowing in pipes
