2 V. Mtyushev, L. Jaworska, M. Rozmus, B. Królcka. Introducton I n Sedmentaton of partcles n a vscous flud s a classcal physcal problem n flud mechancs. It s the benchmark of one of the techncal methods to produce lamnates, n partcular, the functonally graded materals (FGM wth a contnuous spatal change of mechancal propertes [,,,4,5]. Such materals have advantages on the classc lamnates and other compostes, because the nterface between phases yelds jumps n the thermal expanson and the elastc modulus of meda. In the same tme, FGM create a slowly changng gradent of the thermoelastc propertes n meda. Hence, the thermal flux and the stress tensor change also slowly n such materals. A sngle heavy sphercal partcle falls n a vscous flud under the gravtatonal feld accordng to the Stokes settlng velocty [6] U s d ( c g, ( 8 where d denotes the dameter of the sphere, and the c denstes of the partcles and of the flud, the dynamc vscosty of the flud, g the gravtatonal acceleraton. Formula ( s vald for lamnar flow when the ynolds number U d s satsfes the nequalty 4 [6]. The latter restrcton holds for slowly fallng partcles. We now brefly present recent theoretcal and expermental works devote to dfferent aspects of sedmentaton. R. B. Jones & R. Kutteh [7] appled the Stokesan smulatons to compare the hydrodynamc nteractons between collodal partcles n unbounded flud and near a hard wall. The results showed that partcles n unbounded flud there s a hgh degree of symmetry n the confguraton of the partcles whch s broken by the presence of the walls. A smlar method based on statstcal mechancs were used n [8] to study random clouds of the partcles. The gravtatonal settlng of small partcles were numercally nvestgated n [9]. The effect of sde walls on the velocty fluctuaton were nvestgated theoretcally n [,] and expermentally n [,]. A model of the velocty fluctuaton were presented n [4]. Ths model showed that there s a crtcal stratfcaton above whch velocty fluctuatons changed sgnfcantly. Lattce-Boltzmann smulaton were appled to monodsperse and polydsperse suspensons [5]. It was verfed that partcle velocty fluctuatons were suppressed by no-slp condton on the walls. Kynch s cnematc sedmentaton model appled to hgh concentraton suspensons and ts generalzatons are descrbed n [6]. One can also fnd a revew of recent expermental and theoretcal works n [7]. It follows from the above revew that the sgnfcant success has been reached n nvestgatons of the gravtatonal sedmentaton whch s characterzed by the constant gravtatonal forces. The queston of the centrfugal sedmentaton when the external forces actng on suspenson essentally exceed the gravty and change n the tme s not deeply nvestgated theoretcally and expermentally. In the present paper, we construct a mathematcal model of the centrfugal sedmentaton of dlute suspensons, apply ths model to damond and T SC partcles and compare the theoretcal results to the experments. Takng nto account hydrodynamc nteractons of partcles and the effect of walls t s possble to correct formula (. One can fnd varous modfcatons n [6] and papers cted theren. In the present paper, we use the Barnea-Mzrah correcton ( U U ( s / 5 ( exp ( Where denotes concentraton We have chosen formula (, snce t gves more realstc results than other correctons [6] n our experments presented below. It s worth notng that sedmentaton for hgher concentratons are descrbed by non-lnear parabolc equatons. Dlutent suspensons when s small are suffcently well descrbed by equaton (. In the present paper, we consder the case =., hence formula ( can be assumed as the benchmark of our further calculatons. The hgh-speed centrfugal settlng requres verfcaton of the theoretcal results based on formulas (-(, snce the gravtatonal acceleraton g s replaced by the centrfugal acceleraton g whch exceeds g at least fve tmes. Moreover, the centrfugal acceleraton depends on tme t. We dscuss these theoretcal questons n Sec. and. In Sec. 4 new formulas for the hgh-speed centrfugal settlng are deduced and appled to Hgh Speed Centrfugal Compacton Process.. Descrpton of the mathematcal model.. Geometry of vessel.. Geometry of vessel The geometrcal scheme of the volume s presented n Fg.. It s a tube vessel wth the crcular base. The dstance between the centre of rotaton and the top of the vessel s denoted byr mn and fxed equal to 5.5 cm. The dstance to the bottom r s equal to.88 cm. So, the heght of the vessel s 7.8 cm. The axs of rotaton s perpendcular to the axs of the tube. Sphercal partcles are unformly dstrbuted n the vessel, hence we have at the ntal tme t a unform suspenson. At the begnnng of the experment the gravtatonal forces act to the partcles but not essentally change ther poston. In the process of the accelerated rotaton the centrfugal forces exceed the gravtatonal forces more than fve tmes. Ths mples that the partcles fall from the top to the bottom of the vessel and the gravtatonal effects can be neglected n such experments Archves of Materals Scence and Engneerng

Dependence of the settlng tme t on d for T SC One see at Fg. nstablty of the dependence t t( d 6 near the pont d. m,.e., small perturbatons of the dameter d produce large devatons of t. Ths fact can be essental for small partcles, because the dstrbuton of the szes s tabulated wth an error whch can drastcally change the tme of settlng. Here, the dffuson processes whch can take place for small partcles submcrometrc or nanometrc [7] are not taken nto account. Consder many sphercal partcles of dfferent szes made from the same materal. Usng equatons (6-(8 one can observe the detals of the polydsperse settlng and ts dependence on the sze of the partcles. An example of the T SC partcles s presented n Fg. 4. One can see that not all partcles of the dameter d =.5 reach the bottom durng the process. r The rato r( t corresponds to the part of not settled rrmn partcles to the end tme t. The rato settled and non-settled partcles s equal to the rato of the vertcal segments cut by the curve r ( for d =.5 at the tme t.

Locally the velocty of the flud can exceed U l (, for nstance for close partcles generatng a cloud []. Polydspersty also can ncrease the local velocty [].

Ths mples that the oude number s large and the last term n the frst equaton of (4 s less than others. However, for hgh-speed centrfugal rotatons the centrfugal acceleraton s large. Then the oude number becomes small and even for moderate the thrd term n the frst equaton of (4 can exceed other terms. Ths yelds another type of nstablty not related to the nertal terms (ynolds number. Usually the gravtatonal forces serve as a factor ncreasng stablty. In the lnear case of (4 when can be taken as zero, a soluton of the partal dfferental equatons s proportonal to the rato. For the regme presented n Fg. s of order. and s of order 7. Therefore, the vscous flow s lamnar, but the large value of yelds hgh devaton of the local velocty u whch can occur despte of the theoretcal stablty of equatons.

Smulatons show that t s possble to obtan contnuous concentratons of the both materals wth approprate ntal suspensons. Thus, ths method allows to obtan graded materals wth slowly changng of the local propertes. [] R. Borchert, N.
