2.4.6.3 Representative Particle Size<br />

The wall roughness and <str<strong>on</strong>g>particle</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>effect</str<strong>on</strong>g> was taken into account in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> roughness Reynolds<br />

number as given by Slatter (1994).<br />

The <str<strong>on</strong>g>effect</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> roughness <strong>on</strong> turbulence can be thought <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> as an aggravati<strong>on</strong> at <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> wall<br />

which stimulates turbulence. Clearly <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>n <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> larger <str<strong>on</strong>g>particle</str<strong>on</strong>g>s will have a more dominant<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>effect</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> turbulence than <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> smaller <str<strong>on</strong>g>particle</str<strong>on</strong>g>s. Also, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> larger <str<strong>on</strong>g>particle</str<strong>on</strong>g>s will shield <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

smaller <strong>on</strong>es, reducing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir <str<strong>on</strong>g>effect</str<strong>on</strong>g>iveness in stimulating turbulence (Colebrook, 1939).<br />

For all <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> slurries tested to date it was found that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> d S5 <str<strong>on</strong>g>size</str<strong>on</strong>g> was a good representati<strong>on</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>turbulent</strong> roughness <str<strong>on</strong>g>size</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>effect</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> solid <str<strong>on</strong>g>particle</str<strong>on</strong>g>s in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> slurry ie
