Abstract
The squeezing of a disc-shaped sample of fluid between parallel plates under the action of a normal force represents a simple, yet extremely useful rheological technique. It has been used for many years, with Stefan [1] solving the relationship between squeezing force and plate separation for squeezing of a Newtonian fluid in 1874. But since the advent of capillary rheometry and rotational rheometry, material characterization has made only limited use of squeeze flow.
