- A new dimensionless parameter, the focusing number, is proposed in this paper to characterise initial migration of neutrally buoyant particle suspension, which enables, for the first time, the identification of three distinctive flow regimes in planar Poiseulle flows. The discovery of these regimes is significant as it provides not only a sound theoretical basis for formulation design and process optimisation involving solid-liquid two phase flows, but also a practical regime map for predicting the flow behaviour of neutrally buoyant particle suspensions.
