Deposition velocities for Newtonian slurries in turbulent flow
In this contribution both new and previously published deposition velocity data for aqueous Newtonian slurries are incorporated in a correlation which complements the earlier predictions of Durand, Wilson and A.D. Thomas. Most of the new data has been obtained for slurries of narrowly sized sand particles of median diameter ranging between 90 and 420 mu m, in pipes of diameter between 0.05 and 0.5 m. The data were obtained in laboratory investigations under isothermal flow conditions.
