Numerical investigation on solids settling in a non-Newtonian slurry inside a horizontal flume
Shubham Sharma, Somasekhara Goud Sontti, Wenming Zhang +2
Slurry transportation is always crucial for many industrial processes. This study numerically investigates the settling behavior of multisize solid particles in a non-newtonian slu…
