Abstract
A thixotropic fluid with a viscosity dependent on a structural parameter, which satisfies a very simple kinetic equation, is examined. The stability and evolution of shear flows of such a fluid are investigated. Some classes of problems for which approximate solutions can be obtained are considered. Solutions are obtained for problems of changes in structure in oscillatory Couette flows. The apparent viscoelasticity of thixotropic fluids is analyzed. Some aspects of the thixotropic behavior of blood are discussed.
