The rheology of fluidized beds is surprisingly rich, including Newtonian, shear thinning, as well as shear thickening regimes. We will show how the occurrence and the cross overs between these regimes can be understood in terms of simple time scales. We will also provide a derivation of the mu-I-rheology, well-known to apply to purely shear driven particle flows and show how it extends beyond the corresponding Bagnold regime.
