Rheology of Three-Phase Suspensions: Syrup with Bubbles and Particles

British Geological Survey data comprises rheology measurements for 39 syrup samples containing air bubbles and/or spherical glass particles. The data were used to support a model for three-phase suspension rheology, with experiments detailed in Truby et al. (2014). Each sample's stress was stepped up and down in a concentric cylinder rheometer, with strain rate recorded at each step.

Use Cases

• Validate rheological models for multiphase fluids based on experimental stress-strain rate data.
• Analyze the effect of air bubble inclusion on fluid viscosity based on described sample composition.
• Study the influence of spherical particle loading on suspension flow behavior based on described sample composition.
• Compare experimental hysteresis from stress step-up and step-down cycles mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data from 39 distinct experimental samples.
• Directly supports a published model (Truby et al., 2014).
• Experiments conducted with a defined concentric cylinder geometry.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2026-05-28.
