slurry
Thin cement paste
Slurry is a thin, watery mixture of insoluble matter—typically something powdery or granular suspended in liquid.
Cement slurry is mixed for pouring.
Coal slurry is pumped through pipelines.
Manure slurry is spread on fields as fertilizer.
The word suggests something thick enough to flow but too dense to be merely muddy water: The pig farm stores slurry in giant tanks.
