Abstract: We consider suspensions of rigid particles under flow conditions such that the fluid and particle velocity fluctuations can be neglected. We analyzed the dynamic behaviour of such suspensions from a macroscopic point of view, with the help of irreversible thermodynamics. We pay special attention to the differences that exist between transport phenomena in suspensions and those in a classical binary mixture. Our analysis reveals the existence of a coupling between barycentric and relative motions. This coupling involves both inertial and viscous forces. When inertia and concentration diffusion are neglected, we get a set of equations somewhat similar to the one recently suggested by Noziéres.
