The influence of non-Newtonian flow behavior on sedimentation velocity of particles is investigated using an approximate solution for the motion of an assemblage of solid spheres presented previously by the authors. It is theoretically predicted that the pseudoplaslicity decreases the sedimentation velocity and its reduction is pronounced at large voidage. The present theory is discussed using the available empirical correlations.
