Recent pilots on emerging oil sands tailings technologies have confirmed that deposit thickness is an important parameter controlling tailings dewatering, and a key parameter governing cost. Controlling or managing deposit thickness continues to be an important challenge for full-scale implementation of tailings technologies that exhibit a yield stress. From the perspective of deterministic modelling of such deposits, there are many challenges, including measurement of the relevant rheological parameters, and how to handle time-variant rheology when modelling. This research characterizes the rheology of a mineral slurry with relatively high clay xi 7 Chapter: Numerical Simulation of Tailings Flow.
