Numerical Reliability Study Based on Rheological Input for Bingham Paste Pumping Using a Finite Volume Approach in OpenFOAM

Rheological quantification is important in many industries, the concrete industry in particular, e.g., pumping, form filling, etc. Instead of performing expensive and time-consuming experiments, numerical simulations are a powerful means in view of rheological assessment. However, due to the unclear numerical reliability and the uncertainty of rheological input data, it is important for the construction industry to assess the numerical outcome....
