Inertial Suspension Flows in Bifurcating Channels: Experiments and Modelling

Abstract eng:
Experiments of non-colloidal suspensions with finite inertia at both the particle and the bulk scale were performed in bifurcating channels focusing on the T-geometry to provide a benchmark for general suspension flows. Single-phase effective viscosity analyses fail to capture even the macroscopic characteristics of the flow. The non-Newtonian and multi-phase nature of this flow were examined using discrete particle Lattice-Boltzmann simulations and the continuum suspension-balance model and these provide a more accurate description and understanding of the experiments.
