The effects of fluid viscoelasticity on the settling behaviour of horizontally aligned spheres

A study on the interaction of particles settling in non-Newtonian fluids of shear-thinning, thixotropic and viscoelastic characteristics has been conducted. Key aspects of the rheological characteristics of the fluids that influence the interaction of the particles were examined by analysing the tra...
