Abstract:
Granular mixtures immersed in a liquid (slurries) show segregation dynamics which are quantitatively and qualitatively different from those of dry systems. The principal mechanisms of the segregation dynamics in slurries, as well as the relevant material parameters that must be taken into account in a dynamic description are not sufficiently understood so far. We investigate experimentally the influence of the viscosity of the interstitial liquid on the coarsening of axial segregation patterns in a horizontally rotating mixer. It is found that not only the characteristic time scales but also fundamental structural features of these patterns are influenced by the viscous properties of the liquid component.
