Abstract
The rheology of sputum samples is represented through two rheological fluid modelling approaches: (i) a kinetic Single Extended pom-pom (SXPP) model and (ii) a time-dependent thixotropic Modified Bautista-Manero (MBM) model. These models are sufficiently rich to enable description of both network-structure and rheological properties, exhibiting viscoelastic response (memory), with strain-hardening/softening and shear-thinning properties.
