Abstract
This chapter focuses on various transport phenomena in yield stress materials. After a brief introduction, an overview of the phenomenology of the solid–fluid transition is given in Sect. 2. Section 3 introduces a microscopic theory able to describe the solid–fluid transition in both thixotropic and non-thixotropic yield stress materials. A discussion of the hydrodynamic stability of yield stress materials is presented in Sect. 4. Some non-isothermal transport phenomena are discussed in Sect. 5.

Notes
- 1.
The derivation of Eq. (37) has been related to the shearing force via \(\eta \left( \dot{\gamma }\right) =\frac{f_+}{A \dot{\gamma }}\).
- 2.
This can be easily seen if one retains from the series expansion of the right-hand side of Eq. (37) only the first-order term.
- 3.
This is for now only a plausible assumption and a direct experimental investigation by fluorescent visualisation of the gel network as recently performed by Gutowski et al. (2012) would be highly needed to test it.
