摘要
A simple theory is presented to account for the viscometer walls effects encountered when measuring suspensions of large particles (or flocs). The often-recommended minimum ratio of gap-to-particle size ratio of 10:1 is shown to be appropriate for phase volumes up to 25%, but above this value, the ratio needs to be greater. The theory is supported by recent experimental evidence. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
