Abstract
An experimental investigation of sedimentation of single particles and concentrated suspensions in Couette flows of viscous and viscoelastic fluids is presented. With the passage from viscous to viscoelastic fluids, a slowing down of the sedimentation was observed. The sedimentation of suspensions in viscoelastic fluids accelerated with increase in the suspension concentration. The development of instabilities during the sedimentation was detected.
