Abstract
A method and system of characterizing flow behavior of a fluid sample including providing a magnet with a constant gradient where at least a portion of the sample defining a sensitive region is in the constant gradient, inducing circular Couette flow in the fluid in at least the sensitive region, generating an NMR pulse sequence comprising at least two pulses with a delay between the pulses, acquiring at least one echo from the pulse sequence from the sensitive region, measuring the magnitude of the NMR signal of the at least one acquired echo, normalizing the measured magnitude to a reference magnitude, and using the normalized magnitude to derive a shear rate for the fluid sample.
