Abstract
Using magnetic resonance imaging we are able to obtain average velocity and volume fraction profiles in a pipe flow with a neutrally buoyant suspension. In this experimental work, the effect of increasing Reynolds number and particle volume fraction on shear-induced migration is studied. For increasing bulk volume fraction, the initially nearly homogeneous suspension gradually changes to a strongly non-homogeneous suspension. This is observed for all studied Reynolds numbers. In contrast to the majority of previous (MRI) studies, experiments are also performed for suspension Reynolds numbers of approximately 5000 in order to study inertial effects on shear-induced migration.
