Dense suspensions of noncolloidal particles exhibit novel features. In a non-homogeneous shear flow, it is observed that particles migrate from the high shear rate region to the low shear rate region. This phenomenon is called Shear-Induced Migration (SIM). The Suspension Balance Model (SBM) of Nott and Brady (1994) has been taken as an approach to model SIM. Where the SIM is attributed to the diffusive fluxes that arise naturally from gradients in the particle phase stresses. However, there are still unanswered questions and an ongoing debate on the nature of particle stress in the dense suspensions. Recent experiments show that the SBM not only fails in predicting the steady-state distribution of particle phase in the flow of dense suspensions but also fails in predicting the kinetics of the SIM. In addition, recent theoretical works question the derivation of the SBM and the simple supposition of drag closures in inhomogeneous flows of dense suspensions. We have designed and built an original setup to revisit available drag closures via performing well-resolved experiments. We present our preliminary results of a drag closure taking into account inhomogeneities of the solid phase volume fraction and the shear rate.; Les suspensions denses de particules non colloïdales présentent des caractéristiques originales. Dans un écoulement de cisaillement non homogène, on observe que les particules migrent des région de cisaillement élevé vers des régions de faible taux de cisaillement. Ce phénomène s'appelle migration induite par cisaillement (SIM). Le modèle de suspension (SBM) de Nott et Brady (1994) est une approche de la SIM où des flux diffusifs apparaissent naturellement à partir de gradients de contraintes de la phase particulaire. Cependant, il existe encore des débats sur la nature des contraintes particulaire dans les suspensions denses. Des expériences récentes montrent que le SBM échoue non seulement à prédire la distribution stationnaire des particules, mais aussi à rendre compte de sa cinétique. Nous avons conçu et construit une configuration originale pour revoir les modèles disponibles en effectuant des expériences bien résolues dans le temps et l'espace. Nous présentons nos résultats expérimentaux ainsi qu'une détermination préliminaires des paramètres du modèle tenant compte des inhomogénéités de fraction volumique et du taux de cisaillement.

- Abstract
The rheology of non-Brownian suspension of solids in both simple and complex fluids has drawn much attention since there are so many industrial and daily life applications in the oil industry (e.g., Hydraulic fracturing), food processing, cosmetic, painting, concrete, muds, pharmaceutical, landslides, and mudslides. Characterizing the flow of particles suspended in Newtonian fluids and yield stress fluids is complicated due to complex phenomenon such as shear-induced migration. This phenomenon causes heterogeneity of particles in the fluid phase and size segregation in polydispersed suspension. Shearinduced migration occurs when the configuration of suspension flow is exposed to shear rate gradients such as channel and large gap Taylor-Couette flow. In the present work, the shear induced migration of particles suspended in Newtonian fluids is studied in a channel flow. The results are compared and discussed with theoretical models. It is shown that the prediction of models for the distribution of solid volume fraction is in good agreement with the results obtained in the present work close to the channel walls; however, there is a discrepancy between model prediction and experimental results for volume fraction at channel centerline. In addition, an engineered model suspension consisting of rigid particles and yield stress fluids is developed. The suspending fluid is an emulsion with adjustable density, rheological behavior, and refractive index. We explain the design procedure in detail. The optically transparent emulsion opens the possibility of exploring Particle Tracking/Image Velocimetry (PIV/PTV) techniques in studying dynamic flows involving particles in complex fluids. As a proof of concept, a set of experiments is performed to provide accurate measurements of solid volume fractions for the dispersion of particles in a Taylor-Couette cell.

- Abstract
Corrosion of steel parts is an important problem in the oil and gas industry, both for upstream (from well to refinery environments) and downstream (refinery environment) applications. Water is always present in the reservoir and is carried through the pipelines together with the produced hydrocarbon fluids. In order to transport the oil from the well to the refinery environment, carbon steel pipeline is often the preferred choice of material as it is the most cost-effective and available option. Transportation of oil becomes problematic due to the presence of water in carbon steel pipelines since it causes corrosion. However, corrosion only occurs when liquid water is in direct contact with the steel surface - this scenario is commonly known as water wetting. Several studies have been performed on water wetting in horizontal and inclined pipe flow, and several models have been proposed to estimate the occurrence of water wetting. However, there is still some degree of discrepancy between modeling outcomes, suggesting that the state of understanding of the mechanisms involved is not well defined. Moreover, the available experimental data on water wetting, particularly in inclined oil-water pipe flow, is still scarce and somewhat contradictory, which renders development of physical models difficult. In this research, a comprehensive database of new experimental results was developed. Phase wetting measurements were performed in a 4-inch Internal Diameter flow loop, investigating the effect of pipe inclination, mixture velocity of oil and water and water cut (concentration of water in oil). In addition, the experiments were repeated in a carbon steel and in a polyvinyl chloride test section in order to study the wetting characteristics of the surface. A new phase wetting measurement probe was developed and validated in the flow loop. Based on impedance measurement, this probe showed exceptional capabilities for differentiating oil and water wetting with a great level of confidence. Several phase wetting maps, plotting the water cut versus the mixture velocity, were developed horizontal, 10º, 45º, 80º and 90º inclination. The experimental conditions were then simulated using two published wetting models developed from Brauner and Tang. Gaps between predicted and experimental results helped identify several parameters which needed to be taken into account: the local concentration of water at the bottom of the pipe and the hydrophilicity characteristics of the wetted surface. This study contributed to the development and validation of a new water wetting model which showed very good agreement with the experimental results.
