Suspensions – Eulerian multiphase
Two-fluid formulation
The momentum equation for phase k is From the suspension balance model Fluid stress is pressure with viscous term and shear particle stress term Particle stress is Morris and Boulay total stress

Suspensions – pipe flow modelling
Modelling results of Hampton et. al NMR suspensions in pipe experiments At volume fraction of particles = 0.3 The Morris and Boulay relative viscosity model is capable of causing particle migration towards the centre of the pipe. When the normal stresses are turned off then no particle migration occurs. Kn = 2
SLIDE 22 Emulsions Surfactant stabilised emulsions share many properties of suspensions as the fluid particles can be approximated as solid particles.
- As the volume fraction of the
dispersed phase is increased the effect of maximum packing leads to divergent viscosity,
- eventually a phase inversion occurs.
