Inertial Dense Suspensions (IDeS); Flows in between Laminar and Turbulent
Inertial Dense Suspensions are very common in nature and industry, with examples including blood flow, recycling, waste slurry transport, additive manufacturing, and energy storage solutions. While they are of great practical importance, these suspension flows are poorly understood. A direct consequence is that we cannot predict even the most basic properties of these flows with sufficient accuracy. For instance, the current best models over- or underestimate the measured pressure drop in a suspension pipe flow by 30-40% for various flow rates. This means that designing or controlling these flows is difficult, as there is no reliable relation between the flow rate and pressure difference…
