Abstract
Uniformly distributed particles in inertial flows migrate across the streamlines to form nonuniform distributions in the flow cross sections. Here, an experimental study of the influence of inertial migration of particles on flow transitions of a suspension in Taylor-Couette geometry is presented. It is shown that, relative to uniform concentration, the particle distribution following inertial migration either stabilizes or destabilizes the flow depending on the underlying flow structure and flow Reynolds number.
