A Nonlinear Viscoelastic Model for the Yielding of Gelled Waxy Crude Oil

We explore some rheological aspects of the yielding of gelled waxy crude oil on the basis of a fractal model for the structural description of the waxy gel and Marrucci’s model for the time evolution of the stress with mixed elastic and viscous effects. With some parameters of the model directly obt...
