Abstract Drilling fluids and well cements are example non-Newtonian fluids that are used for geothermal and petroleum well construction. Measurement of the non-Newtonian fluid viscosities are normally performed using a concentric cylinder Couette geometry, where one of the cylinders rotates at a controlled speed or under a controlled torque. In this paper we address Couette flow of yield stress shear thinning fluids in concentric cylinder geometries.We focus on typical oilfield viscometers and discuss effects of yield stress and shear thinning on fluid yielding at low viscometer rotational speeds and errors caused by the Newtonian shear rate assumption. We relate these errors to possible implications for typical wellbore flows.

Neutrons from the reactions of protons or deuterons of energies between 35 and 70 MeV on beryllium are most suitable for therapy because of the high yield and good penetration. Lower energy sources are used for limited applications. Proton therapy is conducted mainly in two energy ranges, viz. 60–75 MeV (exclusively for the treatment of eye lesions) and ≥200 MeV for general applications. Characterisation of both neutron and proton therapy beams in terms of spectral fluence is important for accurate determination of dosimetry parameters, for interpreting biological effects, for intercomparison purposes and to perform accurate radiation transport calculations.

We have fabricated several TiO 2 based ER fluids with doping and without designed doping, which exhibit the high yield stress up to more than 100kPa. The titanium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by using wet chemical method. The ER effect of those materials is dominated by the special additives, such as amide or its ramification, as well as the remained molecules or ions in the sample preparation. It is found that the yield stress is also strongly dependent on the viscosity of the oil. The prepared ER fluids possess other attractive characters, for instance the current density is low and against sedimentation.
