Experimental study of gravitation effects in the flow of a particle-laden thin film on an inclined plane

The flow of viscous, particle-laden wetting thin films on an inclined plane is studied experimentally as the particle concentration is increased to the maximum packing limit. The slurry is a non-neutrally buoyant mixture of silicone oil and either solid glass beads or glass bubbles. At low concentra...
