Annotation	Flow behavior of concentrated slurry depends on particle size distribution, shape, density, and concentration. The slurry flow behavior can change from Newtonian to non-Newtonian depending on the concentration, slurry composition, and content of fine and especially colloidal particles, which evoke a complex rheological behavior of the slurry. The present paper deals with experimental investigation of the concentrated slurries. Slurries containing sand, stony dust, or clay conveyed in water were used as model suspensions. The understanding of complex slurry flow behavior makes it possible to optimize energy and water requirements and to improve quality, safety, economy, and reliability of transport and/or processing.
