Could you tell us what "reology" means? Is this a new science?

Yucca Valley, CA Cloudy and chilly, but the air is still. Possibly the calm
before the expected storm.

Hi Milton,

"Reology" should have been written "rheology" and is, according to Funk and
Wagnall's, " ... the study of the properties and behavior of of flowing
substances; the science of flow."

Reology is the study (correct me if I am not explaining this correctly
anyone) of solids in suspension I think - in our case it has to do with
slip density, flow time, viscosity - like that - and how to alter those
properties. It would be applicable to flocculating or deflocculation of
slips and glazes.
