We report rheological measurements of a noncolloidal particle suspension in a Newtonian solvent at 40% solid volume fraction. An anomalous, frequency-dependent complex viscosity is found under oscillatory shear (OS) flow, whereas a constant dynamic viscosity is found under the same shear rates in steady shear (SS) flow. We show that this contradiction arises from the underlying microstructural difference between OS and SS, mediated by weak interparticle forces. Discrete element simulations of proxy particle suspensions confirm this hypothesis and reveal an adhesion-induced, shear thinning mechanism with a -1/5 slope, only in OS, in agreement with experiments.

Colloidal particles with strong, short-ranged attractions can form a gel. We simulate this process without and with hydrodynamic interactions (HI), using the lattice-Boltzmann method to account for presence of a thermalized solvent. We show that HI s peed up and slow down gelation at low and high volume fractions, respectively. The transition between these two regimes is linked to the existence of a percolating cluster shortly after quenching the system. However, when we compare gels at matched structural age, we find nearly indistinguishable structures with and without HI. Our result explains longstanding, unresolved conflicts in the literature.
Considering a granular fluid of inelastic smooth hard spheres we discuss the conditions delineating the rheological regimes comprising Newtonian, Bagnoldian, shear thinning, and shear thickening behavior. Developing a kinetic theory, valid at finite shear rates and densities around the glass transition density, we predict the viscosity and Bagnold coefficient at practically relevant values of the control parameters. The determination of full flow curves relating the shear stress $sigma$ to the shear rate $dotgamma$, and predictions of the yield stress complete our discussion of granular rheology derived from first principles.
We present simulations for the steady-shear rheology of a model adhesive dispersion. We vary the range of the attractive forces $u$ as well as the strength of the dissipation $b$. For large dissipative forces, the rheology is governed by the Weisenbe rg number $ text{Wi}sim bdotgamma/u$ and displays Herschel-Bulkley form $sigma = sigma_y+ctext{Wi}^ u$ with exponent $ u=0.45$. Decreasing the strength of dissipation, the scaling with $text{Wi}$ breaks down and inertial effects show up. The stress decreases via the Johnson-Samwer law $Deltasigmasim T_s^{2/3}$, where temperature $T_s$ is exclusively due to shear-induced vibrations. During flow particles prefer to rotate around each other such that the dominant velocities are directed tangentially to the particle surfaces. This tangential channel of energy dissipation and its suppression leads to a discontinuity in the flow curve, and an associated discontinuous shear thinning transition. We set up an analogy with frictional systems, where the phenomenon of discontinuous shear thickening occurs. In both cases tangential forces, frictional or viscous, mediate a transition from one branch of the flowcurve with low tangential dissipation to one with large tangential dissipation.
Although the behavior of fluid-filled vesicles in steady flows has been extensively studied, far less is understood regarding the shape dynamics of vesicles in time-dependent oscillatory flows. Here, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of vesicles in large amplitude oscillatory extensional (LAOE) flows using both experiments and boundary integral (BI) simulations. Our results characterize the transient membrane deformations, dynamical regimes, and stress response of vesicles in LAOE in terms of reduced volume (vesicle asphericity), capillary number ($Ca$, dimensionless flow strength), and Deborah number ($De$, dimensionless flow frequency). Results from single vesicle experiments are found to be in good agreement with BI simulations across a wide range of parameters. Our results reveal three distinct dynamical regimes based on vesicle deformation: pulsating, reorienting, and symmetrical regimes. We construct phase diagrams characterizing the transition of vesicle shapes between pulsating, reorienting, and symmetrical regimes within the two-dimensional Pipkin space defined by $De$ and $Ca$. Contrary to observations on clean Newtonian droplets, vesicles do not reach a maximum length twice per strain rate cycle in the reorienting and pulsating regimes. The distinct dynamics observed in each regime result from a competition between the flow frequency, flow time scale, and membrane deformation timescale. By calculating the particle stresslet, we quantify the nonlinear relationship between average vesicle stress and strain rate. Additionally, we present results on tubular vesicles that undergo shape transformation over several strain cycles. Broadly, our work provides new information regarding the transient dynamics of vesicles in time-dependent flows that directly informs bulk suspension rheology.
We investigate the sedimentation of initially packed paramagnetic particles in presence of a homogeneous external magnetic field, in a Hele-Shaw cell filled with water. Although the magnetic susceptibility of the particles is small and the particle-p article induced magnetic interactions are significantly smaller compared to the gravitational acceleration, we do observe a measurable reduction of the decompaction rate as the amplitude of the applied magnetic field is increased. While induced magnetic dipole-dipole interactions between particles can be either attracting or repulsive depending on the particles relative alignment, our observations reveal an effective overall enhancement of the cohesion of the initial pack of particles due to the induced interactions, very likely promoting internal chain forces in the initial pack of particles. The influence of the magnetic field on the particles once they disperse after being decompacted is on the other hand found to remain marginal.
