A '''slurry''' is a mixture of solids denser than water suspended in liquid, usually water. The most common use of slurry is as a means of transporting solids, the liquid being a carrier that is pumped on a device such as a [[centrifugal pump]]. The size of solid particles may vary from 1 micron up to hundreds of millimeters. The particles may settle below a certain transport velocity and the mixture can behave as a [[Newtonian fluid|Newtonian]] or [[Non-Newtonian fluid|non-Newtonian]] fluid. Depending on the mixture, the slurry may be abrasive and/or corrosive.
