Dense suspensions of particles are relevant to many applications and are a key platform for
developing a fundamental physics of out-of-equilibrium systems. They present challenging …

Pipe flows are commonly found in nature and industry as an effective mean of transporting
fluids. They are primarily characterized by their resistance law, which relates the mean flow …

Hypothesis: A number of dense particle suspensions experience a dramatic increase in
viscosity with the shear stress, up to a solid-like response. This shear-thickening process is …

We study the jamming phase diagram of sheared granular material using a novel Couette
shear setup with a multiring bottom. The setup uses small basal friction forces to apply a …

It has recently been argued that steady-state vorticity bands cannot arise in shear thickening
suspensions because the normal stress imbalance across the interface between the bands …

Recent theoretical and experimental work suggests a frictionless-frictional transition with
increasing inter-particle pressure explains the extreme solid-like response of discontinuous …

Living tissues are an integrated, multiscale architecture consisting of dense cellular
ensembles and extracellular matrices (ECMs). The cells and ECMs cooperate to enable …

We develop a statistical framework for the rheology of dense, non-Brownian suspensions,
based on correlations in a space representing forces, which is dual to position space …

Nearly, all dense suspensions undergo dramatic and abrupt thickening transitions in their
flow behavior when sheared at high stresses. Such transitions occur when the dominant …

The impact of fluid drops on solid substrates has widespread interest in many industrial
coating and spraying applications, such as ink-jet printing and agricultural pesticide sprays …
