Retrieving the Bingham model from a bi-viscous model: Some explanatory remarks

In this note we prove some analytical results on the Bingham model. In particular we show how to derive some constitutive and kinematical properties through a limit procedure in which the visco-plastic model is retrieved from a linear bi-viscous model. We also prove that, assuming a no-slip condition at the interface separating the two viscous fluids, no source of entropy can be present on such interface.
