The Boltzmann equation for inelastic Maxwell models is considered to determine the rheological properties in a granular binary mixture in the simple shear flow state. The transport coefficients (shear viscosity and viscometric functions) are {em exactly} evaluated in terms of the coefficients of restitution, the (reduced) shear rate and the parameters of the mixture (particle masses, diameters and concentration). The results show that in general, for a given value of the coefficients of restitution, the above transport properties decrease with increasing shear rate.

The Boltzmann equation for d-dimensional inelastic Maxwell models is considered to analyze transport properties in spatially inhomogeneous states close to the simple shear flow. A normal solution is obtained via a Chapman--Enskog--like expansion around a local shear flow distribution f^{(0)} that retains all the hydrodynamic orders in the shear rate. The constitutive equations for the heat and momentum fluxes are obtained to first order in the deviations of the hydrodynamic field gradients from their values in the reference state and the corresponding generalized transport coefficients are {em exactly} determined in terms of the coefficient of restitution alpha and the shear rate a. Since f^{(0)} applies for arbitrary values of the shear rate and is not restricted to weak dissipation, the transport coefficients turn out to be nonlinear functions of both parameters a and alpha. A comparison with previous results obtained for inelastic hard spheres from a kinetic model of the Boltzmann equation is also carried out.
Non-Newtonian transport properties of an inertial suspension of inelastic rough hard spheres under simple shear flow are determined from the Boltzmann kinetic equation. The influence of the interstitial gas on rough hard spheres is modeled via a Fokker-Planck generalized equation for rotating spheres accounting for the coupling of both the translational and rotational degrees of freedom of grains with the background viscous gas. The generalized Fokker-Planck term is the sum of two ordinary Fokker-Planck differential operators in linear $mathbf{v}$ and angular $boldsymbol{omega}$ velocity space. As usual, each Fokker-Planck operator is constituted by a drag force term (proportional to $mathbf{v}$ and/or $boldsymbol{omega}$) plus a stochastic Langevin term defined in terms of the background temperature $T_text{ex}$. The Boltzmann equation is solved by two different but complementary approaches: (i) by means of Grads moment method, and (ii) by using a Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK)-type kinetic model adapted to inelastic rough hard spheres. As occurs in the case of emph{smooth} inelastic hard spheres, our results show that both the temperature and the non-Newtonian viscosity increase drastically with increasing the shear rate (discontinuous shear thickening effect) while the fourth-degree velocity moments also exhibit an $S$-shape. In particular, while high levels of roughness may slightly attenuate the jump of the viscosity in comparison to the smooth case, the opposite happens for the rotational temperature. As an application of these results, a linear stability analysis of the steady simple shear flow solution is also carried out showing that there are regions of the parameter space where the steady solution becomes linearly unstable.
The Boltzmann equation for inelastic Maxwell models is considered to determine the velocity moments through fourth degree in the simple shear flow state. First, the rheological properties (which are related to the second-degree velocity moments) are {em exactly} evaluated in terms of the coefficient of restitution $alpha$ and the (reduced) shear rate $a^*$. For a given value of $alpha$, the above transport properties decrease with increasing shear rate. Moreover, as expected, the third-degree and the asymmetric fourth-degree moments vanish in the long time limit when they are scaled with the thermal speed. On the other hand, as in the case of elastic collisions, our results show that, for a given value of $alpha$, the scaled symmetric fourth-degree moments diverge in time for shear rates larger than a certain critical value $a_c^*(alpha)$ which decreases with increasing dissipation. The explicit shear-rate dependence of the fourth-degree moments below this critical value is also obtained.
A hydrodynamic description for inelastic Maxwell mixtures driven by a stochastic bath with friction is derived. Contrary to previous works where constitutive relations for the fluxes were restricted to states near the homogeneous steady state, here the set of Boltzmann kinetic equations is solved by means of the Chapman--Enskog method by considering a more general time-dependent reference state. Due to this choice, the transport coefficients are given in terms of the solutions of a set of nonlinear differential equations which must be in general numerically solved. The solution to these equations gives the transport coefficients in terms of the parameters of the mixture (masses, diameters, concentration, and coefficients of restitution) and the time-dependent (scaled) parameter $xi^*$ which determines the influence of the thermostat on the system. The Navier--Stokes transport coefficients are exactly obtained in the special cases of undriven mixtures ($xi^*=0$) and driven mixtures under steady conditions ($xi^*=xi_text{st}^*$, where $xi_text{st}^*$ is the value of the reduced noise strength at the steady state). As a complement, the results for inelastic Maxwell models (IMM) in both undriven and driven steady states are compared against approximate results for inelastic hard spheres (IHS) [Khalil and Garzo, Phys. Rev. E textbf{88}, 052201 (2013)]. While the IMM predictions for the diffusion transport coefficients show an excellent agreement with those derived for IHS, significant quantitative differences are specially found in the case of the heat flux transport coefficients.
The flow of dense suspensions, glasses, and granular materials is heavily influenced by frictional interactions between constituent particles. However, neither hydrodynamics nor friction has successfully explained the full range of flow phenomena in concentrated suspensions. Particles with asperities represent a case in point. Lubrication hydrodynamics fail to completely capture two key rheological properties - namely, that the viscosity increases drastically and the first normal stress difference can switch signs as volume fraction increases. Yet, simulations that account for interparticle friction are also unable to fully predict these properties. Furthermore, experiments show that rheological behavior can vary depending on particle roughness and deformability. We seek to resolve these apparent contradictions by systematically tuning the roughness of model colloids, investigating their viscosity and first normal stress differences under steady shear, and finally generating a rheological state diagram that demonstrates how surface roughness influences the transition between shear thickening and dilatancy. Our simulations, which are in good agreement with the experiments, suggest that friction between rough particles is significant. In addition, we find that roughness progressively lowers the critical conditions required for the onset of shear thickening and dilatancy. Our results thus provides a major contribution in the field of suspension rheology with broad relevance to granular and particulate materials. For instance, particle geometry can be tuned to increase the efficacy of materials that turn solid-like on the application of stimuli. On the other hand, engineers who work with concentrated slurries can now use images of the constituent particles to estimate optimal flow processing conditions.
