Abstract

AbstractThe turbulent flow of suspensions of fine solid particles in liquids is analyzed by assuming that the suspensions behave essentially as variable‐density single phase fluids. Friction factors are found to depend upon the distribution of solid particles within the conduit as well as the Reynolds number of the flow. Comparison of the model with experimental measurements indicates that as long as turbulent suspension of solid particles occurs, the model is a useful alternative to the empirical Durand equation for pipeline design.
