Abstract [en]
Rheological computer simulations of the Abrams cone are introduced in this paper. A Computational Fluid Dynamics software called OpenFOAM (https://www.openfd.o.uk) was used for the calculations. An easy-to-use model for obtaining yield stress and plastic viscosity of concrete on e.g. the building site is developed. Promising results show that both yield stress as well as plastic viscosity can be determined by this simple test.
