The transport of solid particles entrained by a closed-conduit fluid flow is frequently found in industrial applications. It is found, for example, in the petroleum, food and pharmaceutical industries. Concerning the size of the solid particles, several orders of magnitude may be present: from some tens of microns to some tens of millimeters. A better knowledge of this kind of transport and of its associated pressure drop is then of great importance to improve particle related industrial processes. Nevertheless, up to now, it has not been theoretically well understood. When shear stresses exerted by the fluid flow on the bed of particles are able to move some of them, but are relatively small compared to particles apparent weight, a mobile layer of particles known as bed-load takes place in which the particles stay in contact with the fixed bed. The thickness of this mobile layer is a few particle diameters. Bed-load existence depends on the balance of two forces: a) an entraining force of hydrodynamic nature, proportional to τd2, where τ is the bed shear stress and d is the mean particle diameter; b) a resisting force related to particles apparent weight, proportional to (ρs− ρ) gd3, where ρ is the fluid density, ρs is the particles density and g is the gravitational acceleration.
