==== Slump flow test ====
=== Test setup and Geometry ===
This section presents results of slump flow simulations. It is a typical test usually used in industry to check the consistency of a concrete. The mould called slump cone is filled with concrete and then is lifted up. Conrete slump down and in dependence of type of the concrete, one can measure residual height or spreading diameter. As a geometry, Abrams cone was choosen (see the picture below).

=== Computational Model ===
The mesh is shown on the next picture. It is refined near the botom surface to improve accuracy of the interface capturing.
The problem is solved in axisymmetric. The simulations were done using
Bingham model (corresponding to self compacting concrete with very low yield stress) with the
following parameters: density 2300 kg/m3, yield stress 40 Pa, viscosity 20 Pa.s. The simulations were performed for
different type of friction conditions assumed on horizontal plate. The full slip as well as
different friction coefficients has been considered. The friction coefficient is sequentially equal to 0.0, 0.01, 0.1 and 5.0. Significant difference in flows for different friction coefficient can be observed. 
setting due to the rotational symmetry of the problem.

=== Results ===
On the next four videos, the influence of boundary condition on the flow is shown. The friction coefficient is sequentially equal to 0, 0.01, 0.1 and 5. Parameters of the concrete are always yield stress 40 Pa and plastic viscosity 20 Pa.s. Density is 2300kg/m3.

On the next figure, influence of friction is shown. Final spreading shape of SCC is plotted for different values of friction. Comparison with analytical solution of simplified problem is made (for further reference, see: ROUSSEL N COUSSOT P, “Fifty-cent rheometer” for yield stress
