Granular Suspension: From Single Fluid to Two-Phase Particulate Systems
摘要
Suspensions of particles play an important role in a wide variety of natural phenomena and industrial processes. Familiar examples of suspensions of particles include sediments in rivers or estuaries, raindrops, pastes, biological suspensions (such as blood), paints, ink, and waste waters carrying suspended solids. Suspensions are also present in many technological and industrial processes such as water treatment and filtration, separation in mineral processing, synthesis of composite materials, paper making, to name but a few.
