Granular-front formation in free-surface flow of concentrated suspensions.
A granular front emerges whenever the free-surface flow of a concentrated suspension spontaneously alters its internal structure, exhibiting a higher concentration of particles close to its front. This is a common and yet unexplained phenomenon, which is usually believed to be the result of fluid convection in combination with particle size segregation. However, suspensions composed of uniforml...
متن کاملDrop formation in shear-thickening granular suspensions.
We study droplet formation in granular suspensions by systematically varying the volume fractions (φ) and particle diameters (d). For suspensions with water as the suspending liquid, we find three different regimes. For dilute suspensions (φ≤45%), drop formation follows the predictions for inertial breakup and exhibits identical dynamics to that of pure water. The breakup is strongly asymmetric...
متن کاملStructure and kinematics in dense free-surface granular flow.
We show that the structure of a dense, free-surface boundary layer granular flow is similar to the structure of a laminar liquid flow: There is a strong component of order (stratification parallel to the mean flow) superposed with a mild component of disorder (self-diffusion perpendicular to the mean flow). We also show that the self-diffusion coefficient scales with the mean velocity and propo...
متن کاملViscosity of concentrated suspensions: influence of cluster formation.
Dispersed particles can form clusters even at low concentrations. Colloidal and hydrodynamic forces are responsible for this phenomenon and these forces determine both structure and size of clusters. We assume that the viscosity of a concentrated suspension is completely determined by cluster size distribution, regardless if clusters form under the action of colloidal, hydrodynamic interactions...
متن کاملStability of Concentrated Suspensions under Couette and Poiseuille Flow
The stability of two-dimensional Poiseuille flow and plane Couette flow for concentrated suspensions is investigated. Linear stability analysis of the two-phase flow model for both flow geometries shows the existence of a convectively driven instability with increasing growth rates of the unstable modes as the particle volume fraction of the suspension increases. In addition it is shown that th...
