Abstract
The investigation of the sedimentation of particles of a dense polydisperse suspension in the plate centrifuge was carried out based on numerical simulation. It was shown that the reason for the nonmonotone behavior of the sedimentation velocity dependence on particle size is the action of different mechanisms of the particles interaction. The appropriateness of the formula for measuring the sedimentation velocity of particles of a dense polydisperse suspension in the plate centrifuge was examined.
