Laser Doppler velocimetry measurements of particle velocity fluctuations in a concentrated suspension

Recent statistical constitutive models of suspensions of neutrally buoyant, noncolloidal, solid spheres in Newtonian fluids suggest that the particles migrate in response to gradients in “suspension temperature,” defined as the average kinetic energy contained in the particle velocity fluctuations. These models have not yet been compared systematically with experimental data. In addition the “temperature'’ models assume isotropic particle velocity fluctuations, since the suspension temperature is given as a scalar. However, highly anisotropic particle velocity fluctuations have been observed experimentally, which suggests that a suspension temperature tensor is more realistic. We use laser Doppler velocimetry to measure particle velocity fluctuations arising from interparticle collisions in a concentrated suspension under nearly homogeneous shear flow in a narrow-gap concentric cylinder Couette device. We compare the relative sizes of the fluctuating velocity components and determine the variation of each...
