Abstract
Abstract The settling of particles in non-Newtonian fluids is an important topic in industries from pharmaceuticals and foods to mineral extraction and construction. A large body of experimental work is available on single particle settling in both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Multi-particle systems are less well studied. Most reported work in multiparticle systems has been in Newtonian fluids. Recently, there has been increasing interest in multiparticle settling in non-Newtonian fluids. This paper will review some of the more important of these studies and present some new data on periodic motion observed in systems of three or more particles.
