| Aggregation in shear flow | Prev topic | Next topic |
Colomer et al (2005) examined breakage and aggregation rates in suspensions of aggregates under shear rates (0.45 to 27.36 s-1) chosen to mimic those found in natural suspensions. Their results, obtained with a Coulter counter (see Electrical resistance (Coulter) method: Principle and instruments) suggest that under these conditions the shear flow assures the high probability of collisions between particles but it is sufficiently small for the aggregation rate to exceed that of breakage.
