A Study on Closed-Cell Aluminum Foam about Viscosity of Different Viscous Agents

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study compared the effects of viscosity and microscopic mechanism between different viscous agents. Based on macro-analysis and micro-analysis, the comparison were studied, and built the models to explain the results. The different viscous agents and proportion could change the situation around the bubbles and grain size differently. The study gave a new way to analyze the viscosity, further, these factors play an important in effects of viscosity.
