[HTML][HTML] Shear thickening fluids and their applications

M Wei, K Lin, L Sun - Materials & Design, 2022 - Elsevier
Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a new type of nanosuspension, which are formed by
dispersing micro and nanoparticles in a dispersant. STFs are easily deformed under the …

Viscous fingering to fracturing transition in Hele–Shaw flow of shear-thickening fluid

P Singh, S Mondal - Physics of Fluids, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
We experimentally investigate the interplay of viscous fingering and fracturing in a radial

Cavitation bubble dynamics in a shear-thickening fluid

GT Bokman, O Supponen, SA Mäkiharju - Physical Review Fluids, 2022 - APS
Cavitation has been extensively studied in Newtonian fluids and to a lesser yet significant
degree in shear-thinning fluids. However, cavitation has not been previously investigated in …

[HTML][HTML] Microstructural smoothed particle hydrodynamics model and simulations of discontinuous shear-thickening fluids

P Angerman, SS Prasanna Kumar, R Seto… - Physics of …, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
Despite the recent interest in the discontinuous shear-thickening (DST) behavior, few
computational works tackle the rich hydrodynamics of these fluids. In this work, we present …

Control and suppression of viscous fingering displacing non-Newtonian fluid with time-dependent injection strategies

P Singh, S Mondal - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We explore the stabilization mechanism of the fluid–fluid interface in the radial Hele–Shaw
cell, displacing a non-Newtonian fluid. It is possible to stabilize the interface following a non …

Rheology of a crowd: from faster-is-slower to shear thickening

D Hernández-Delfin, A García, M Ellero - Communications Physics, 2024 - nature.com
The evacuation speed of pedestrians through bottlenecks usually leads to the faster-is-
slower (FIS) phenomenon, which relies on frictional clogging and clusters' size. However …
