The spreading kinetics of Herschel-Bulkley fluids on horizontal solid substrates were theoretically studied. The equations of film thickness were derived in both gravitational and capillary regimes. The dynamic contact angle for the capillary regime was also derived. Finally, a limiting result for the case of τ0 = 0 was obtained, which was compared with the known solution for validation. The results show that the yield behavior of the fluids had a significant impact on the spreading kinetics in both cases. Only when stress was larger than the yield stress, would substantial flow occur. The spreading zone was divided into two parts by the yield surface: sheared zone and yield zone, which was completely different from common Newtonian fluids or power-law fluids. The thickness of the yield zone mainly depended on yield stress and pressure gradient along the z-direction. According to the final evolution, both the film thickness and dynamic contact angle were affected not only by the power-law index but also by the yield behavior.

To better understand the sedimentation processes of bentonite, the sedimentation characteristic of bentonite suspension was studied by using the sedimentation analysis module of Dynamic Contact Angle Meter and Tensiometer. The results indicated that sedimentation characteristics of bentonite suspension were affected by the concentration and pH values of the suspension together with the dosage of dispersants. The natural sedimentation rates of bentonite suspension declined firstly with prolonging the sedimentation time and soon stabilized after about 50s. The sedimentation weight of particles hardly changed when the concentration ranged from 0.5% to 5.0%, while it increased significantly when ranged from 5.0% to 10.0%. The sedimentation weight and rate were relatively bigger at 4.4, 11.8 than that of 6.0, 7.9, and the maximum values appeared at pH11.8. Adding sodium pyrophosphate could improve the dispersibility of bentonite suspension.
