1. Stratification: volume fraction gradient PIV: shift small parts of images to find their velocities at the maximum fit, which is great if you have blur images.

2. Fig.2 indicate how stratification influcence the flucatuation. The bigger the gradient is, the quicker for denser particle groups to find the proper height for them. Many previous experiments about flucatuations didn't consider the influcence of the gradient, which turns out to be important here

3. Fig.3 : No matter what direction of the velocity, they all are affected by large gradients.

4. Sedimentation and fluidazation Sedimentation is just letting particles settling down Fluidization is pumping fluid up and make particles stablized.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
