ABSTRACT

For most centrifuge modeling experiments special attention must be paid to the Reynold’s and Peclet numbers since there is not similitude between these two numbers. However, if these two pi numbers are properly controlled then flow, dispersion and diffusion will be modeled correctly regardless of non similarity between models.
