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.

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 exac tly} 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.
A general framework for Maxwell-Oldroyd type differential constitutive models is examined, in which an unspecified nonlinear function of the stress and rate-of-deformation tensors is incorporated into the well-known corotational version of the Jeffre ys model discussed by Oldroyd. For medium amplitude simple shear deformations, the recently developed mathematical framework of medium amplitude parallel superposition (MAPS) rheology reveals that this generalized nonlinear Maxwell model can produce only a limited number of distinct signatures, which combine linearly in a well-posed basis expansion for the third order complex viscosity. This basis expansion represents a library of MAPS signatures for distinct constitutive models that are contained within the generalized nonlinear Maxwell model. We describe a framework for quantitative model identification using this basis expansion, and discuss its limitations in distinguishing distinct nonlinear features of the underlying constitutive models from medium amplitude shear stress data. The leading order contributions to the normal stress differences are also considered, revealing that only the second normal stress difference provides distinct information about the weakly nonlinear response space of the model. After briefly considering the conditions for time-strain separability within the generalized nonlinear Maxwell model, we apply the basis expansion of the third order complex viscosity to derive the medium amplitude signatures of the model in specific shear deformation protocols. Finally, we use these signatures for estimation of model parameters from rheological data obtained by these different deformation protocols, revealing that three-tone oscillatory shear deformations produce data that is readily able to distinguish all features of the medium amplitude, simple shear response space of this generalized class of constitutive models.

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 arou nd 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.
We study the strain response to steady imposed stress in a spatially homogeneous, scalar model for shear thickening, in which the local rate of yielding Gamma(l) of mesoscopic `elastic elements is not monotonic in the local strain l. Despite this, th e macroscopic, steady-state flow curve (stress vs. strain rate) is monotonic. However, for a broad class of Gamma(l), the response to steady stress is not in fact steady flow, but spontaneous oscillation. We discuss this finding in relation to other theoretical and experimental flow instabilities. Within the parameter ranges we studied, the model does not exhibit rheo-chaos.

We use a continuum model to report on the behavior of a dilute suspension of chiral swimmers subject to externally imposed shear in a planar channel. Swimmer orientation in response to the imposed shear can be characterized by two distinct phases of behavior, corresponding to unimodal or bimodal distribution functions for swimmer orientation along the channel. These phases indicate the occurrence (or not) of a population splitting phenomenon changing the swimming direction of a macroscopic fraction of active particles to the exact opposite of that dictated by the imposed flow. We present a detailed quantitative analysis elucidating the complexities added to the population splitting behavior of swimmers when they are chiral. In particular, the transition from unimodal to bimodal and vice versa are shown to display a re-entrant behavior across the parameter space spanned by varying the chiral angular speed. We also present the notable effects of particle aspect ratio and self-propulsion speed on system phase behavior and discuss potential implications of our results in applications such as swimmer separation/sorting.
