| Description | |
Type A |
| ・ Right tailed PDF ・ Tall and narrow to the left with longer tails to the right ・ Flow is dominated with low concentration, that is dilute suspension flow ・ Relatively very low fluctuations |
Type B |
| ・ Single peak to the left and longer tail towards the right ・ Flow is dominated with low solid concentration ・ High fluctuation between dilute and dense suspension |
Type C |
| ・ Single peak at the centre, two tailed profile ・ Flow is dominated with single phase, in this case the dense phase around the mean ・ Existence of low variations in solid fluctuations |
Type D |
| ・ Double peak, right tailed ・ Segregated flows ・ Coexistence of the dilute and dense phases ・ High fluctuations |
