 This test is a typical test used to check consistency of a fresh concrete suspension, often used in laboratories and on site. The mould called slump cone is filled with concrete and then is lifted up by hand. Conrete slumps down due to gravity forces. Typically, the residual height and spreading diameter are recorded. In the presented example, the geometry of Abrams cone has been choosen (see the Fig. 1 for dimensions).  This test is a typical test used to check consistency of a fresh concrete suspension, often used in laboratories and on site.

 The computational mesh is shown on the Figure 3. It has been refined near the botom surface to improve accuracy of the boundary layer prediction as well as improved interface capturing. The triangular elements with eqaul order interpolation of velocity and pressure fields have been used. Since that element is not satisfying LBB condition, PSPG stabilization is used for preventing oscilations in pressure field. SUPG stabilization improving accuracy in connection with non-linear convective term is also used. For further information, see [3].  The computational mesh is shown on the Figure 3.

 On the next four videos, the influence of boundary condition on the flow is illustrated. The Different values of friction coefficient were assumed (equal to 0, 0.01, 0.1 and 5.). Parameters of the Bingham model for concrete were following: yeld stress 40 [Pa], plastic viscosity 20 [Pa.s], and density 2300 [kg/m3].  On the next four videos, the influence of boundary condition on the flow is illustrated.
