Ordering of particulate suspensions in Couette flow at moderate Reynolds numbers

A remarkable ordering phenomenon has been seen to occur when a suspension of particles undergoes shear at particle Reynolds numbers of the order of or greater than one in the annular gap of a Couette type shearing device. This particulate ordering was observed and studied with both suspensions of ri...
