The Stability of Multiphase Suspensions

Abstract

dc:description

When sufficient quantities of buoyant particles are mixed with a sedimenting suspension of heavy particles, the two types of solids undergo rapid lateral segregation from each other. Streams containing the less populous species form and flow through a concentrated continuum suspension of the more populous species. This convection may result in greatly enhanced settling rates.
