Spanish term or phrase: son más cercanas entre sí
En un artículo sobre el comportamiento de flujo de soluciones de biopolímeros en un sistema de geometría anular:

"Como es de esperar, al aumentar la velocidad de flujo, el incremento de la capacidad de suspensión obtenido con la mezcla es menor con respecto a las soluciones puras, ya que las viscosidades, a altas tasas de deformación, se asemejan más y por lo tanto las concentraciones de sólidos obtenidas **son más cercanas entre sí**.

Are more alike? Are closer to each other? Creo que el cansancio me está afectando.

are closer in value (to each other)
Explanation:
To be just a little wordier ... it might help to use the 'in value' here to clarify what kind of closeness is taking place, or in which way they are closer.
