Shear thickening in concentrated suspensions of smooth spheres in Newtonian suspending fluids

MM Denn, JF Morris, D Bonn - Soft matter, 2018 - pubs.rsc.org
Shear thickening is a phenomenon in which the viscosity of a suspension increases with
increasing stress or shear rate, sometimes in a discontinuous fashion. While the …

On the kinematics and dynamics of crystal‐rich systems

GW Bergantz, JM Schleicher… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Partially molten rocks, often called a mush, are examples of a hydrogranular mixture where
the dynamics are controlled by both fluid and crystal‐crystal interactions. An obstacle to …

Rheology of dense granular suspensions under extensional flow

O Cheal, C Ness - Journal of rheology, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
