The purpose of the present study is to examine the flow characteristics of electro-rheological fluids (ERF) between two fixed parallel-plate brass electrodes. First, the microscopic behavior of the ER suspension structure between two fixed parallel-plate brass electrodes for the stationary ERF and flow of the ERF was investigated by flow visualization. Then the unsteady relationship between pressure drop and flow rate of the ERF between two fixed parallel-plates was measured under application of an electric field. Velocity distributions of the ERF were obtained by measuring those of the clusters using an image processing technique. On the other hand, the flow of the ERF between fixed two parallel-plates was solved theoretically using the constitutive equation for a Bingham fluid.
