Abstract The rheological properties of dense suspensions, of silica, iron (III) oxide and water, were studied over a range of solids concentrations using a viscometer, which was modified so as to prevent settling of the solid components. Over the conditions studied, the material behaved according to power—law flow relationships. As the concentrations of silica and iron(III) oxide were increased, an entropy term in the flow equation was identified which had a silica dependent and an iron (III) oxide dependent component. This was attributed to a tendency to order into some form of structural regularity.
