Dataset on rheological measurements of xanthan gum aqueous dispersions containing sodium chloride and settling dynamics of spheres and disks in these dispersions.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a dataset collected in laboratory experiments on the settling of solid spheres and disks in shear-thinning and viscoelastic aqueous solutions of xanthan gum with sodium chloride addition. Two types of spheres with density of 1.41 g/cm³ varying in diameter (3.00 mm and 1.59 mm) and four types of disks with density of 1.43 g/cm³ and thickness of 0.3 mm varying in diameter (1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3.0 mm) were considered. A single particle was settling in a column filled with a test solution which varied in salt content (from 0 M to 0.9 M), while xanthan gum content was constant (1 g/L). The total of elven solutions were tested. For each experimental set, a sequence of images with a falling particle was captured using a camera with macro lenses. D
