Rheo-PIV Analysis of the Yielding and Flow of Model Waxy Crude Oils

Waxes are a commonly encountered precipitate that can result in the gelation of crude oils and cessation of flow in pipelines. In this work, we develop a model wax-oil system that exhibits rheological behavior similar to that of waxy crude oils encountered in production scenarios. To study the conse...
