The phase distribution of a bimodal distribution of negatively buoyant particles in a low-Reynolds-number pressure-driven flow of a suspension in a horizontal pipe is measured using multi-frequency electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Suspensions of heavy silver-coated particles and slightly heavy PMMA particles exhibit different effective conductivities depending on the frequency of an applied electrical current. This difference allows the separate imaging of the phase distribution of each particle type and the composite suspension. At low flow rates the dense particles tend to distribute in the lower half of the pipe The particles are resuspended toward the centre as the flow rate is increased. The slightly heavy particles tend to accumulate closer to the centre of the pipe. The presence of the nearly neutrally buoyant particles enhances the resuspension of the heavy particles compared to that of a suspension of heavy particles alone at the same volume fraction. A suspension balance model is used to theoretically predict the distribution of particles in the flow assuming an ideal mixing rule for the particle partial pressures. The agreement between the predictions and the experimental observations is qualitatively correct and quantitatively fair.
