The flow behavior of 50 and 70 vol% transparent 2‐μm emulsions of amyl acetate in aqueous glycerol is described. The systems exhibited shear thinning behavior as well as large normal stress differences, the latter an order of magnitude greater than the tangential shear stresses. Particle motions were studied in 100‐μm tubes at mean flow rates from 40 to1500 μm sec−1using 2‐μm resin tracer spheres. The velocity profiles were blunted at all flow rates and at both concentrations with a region of apparent plug flow in the tube center whose radiusRedecreased with increasing flow rate and decreasing concentration. Large radial displacements of tracer spheres were observed atR>Re,and even whenR
