Particle partitioning in a Bird-Carreau A fluid \((n=0.25)\). Difference of particle flux ratio minus flow rate ratio as a function of the flow rate ratio for three different confinement ratios: \(\beta =0.1\) (a), \(\beta =0.2\) (b) and \(\beta =0.5\) (c). In each panel, three different \(\Lambda -\)values have been considered. The lines are fits of the simulations data that are added as a guide for eye.
