Sedimentation of the aggregating particles in the gravity field is widely used as an easy and cheap test of the suspension stability of different technical suspensions, blood and nanofluids. It was established the tube inclination makes the test much faster that is known as the Boycott effect. The dependence of the sedimentation rate on the angle of inclination is complex and poorly understood yet. In this paper the two phase model of the aggregating particles is generalized to the inclined tubes. The problem is formulated in the two-dimensional case that corresponds to the narrow rectangle vessels or gaps of the viscosimeters of the cone-cone type. In the suggestion of small angles of inclination the equations are averaged over the transverse coordinate and the obtained hyperbolic system of equations is solved by the method of characteristics. Numerical computations revealed the increase in the initial concentration of the particles, their aggregation rate, external uniform force and inclination angle accelerate the sedimentation while any increase in the fluid viscosity decelerates it that is physically relevant. Anyway, the behaviors of the acceleration are different. Based on the results, a novel method of estimation of the suspension stability is proposed.Key words: Boycott effect, suspension, aggregation, sedimentation, medical diagnostics.Pages of the article in the issue: 52 - 57Language of the article: English
