Abstract
⸠Settling velocities of spheres in shear thinning viscoelastic fluids are measured. ⸠Drag reduction at lower Weissenberg numbers (We) is observed. ⸠This is followed by a transition to drag increase at higher We. ⸠Elasticity is observed to reduce the effect of confining parallel walls. ⸠New correlations to quantify settling velocities are presented.
