Notes

  1. 1.

    See Aeschlimann and Beckett (2000) Measurements of the Casson parameters for a standard chocolate across 23 laboratories reported a 7-fold range in yield value.  

  2. 2.

    In a Bagley plot the overall pressure drop ΔP is plotted against L/D. A straight trend-line confirms that the wall shear stress is independent of pressure and the intercept gives the Bagley correction.

  3. 3.

    Much of this section is based on the PhD dissertation of Dean Barker (Univ. Cambridge 2008)
