摘要
We visualize the flow induced by an isolated non-Brownian spherical particle settling in a shear thinning yield stress fluid using particle image velocimetry. With Re < 1, we show a breaking of the fore-aft symmetry and relate this to the rheological properties of the fluid. We find that the shape of the yield surface approximates that of an ovoid spheroid with its major axis approximately five times greater than the radius of the particle. The disagreement of our experimental findings with previous numerical simulations is discussed. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
