The mechanisms of non-Newtonian behaviour of suspensions and emulsions in steady
shear flow are reviewed. The review is divided into two parts. In the first part, the …

The non-Newtonian behaviors of dense suspensions are central to their use in technological
and industrial applications and arise from a network of particle–particle contacts that …

Concentrated suspensions of Brownian and non-Brownian particles display distinctive
rheological behavior highly dependent on shear rate and shear stress. Cornstarch …

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 …

Dispersing small particles in a liquid can produce surprising behaviors when the solids
fraction becomes large: rapid shearing drives these systems out of equilibrium and can lead …

Non-Newtonian transport properties of a dilute gas of inelastic hard spheres immersed in a
molecular gas are determined. We assume that the granular gas is sufficiently rarefied, and …

The efficient computation of the overdamped, random motion of micron and nanometre scale
particles in a viscous fluid requires novel methods to obtain the hydrodynamic interactions …

The following set of discussions is a complement to the recent special issue of the Journal of
Rheology on the Physics of Dense Suspensions edited by two of us [1]. The discussions …

Concentrated particle suspensions exhibit rheological behavior, such as discontinuous
shear thickening (DST) and dynamic shear jamming (SJ), which affect applications such as …

Polymer modification is one of the most common methods for improving the performance of
asphalt binders. Despite in-depth research, the structural modifications induced by polymers …
