In this work, aqueous suspensions of 1% and 1.5% by weight laponite and a blend of 0.5%/0.07% laponite/carboxymethil cellulose (CMC) are investigated in terms of their rheology and hydrodynamic behaviour in pipe flows. All fluids were shear-thinning, thixotropic and had an yield stress which was mea
