We present an analytical study of a toy model for shear banding, without normal stresses, which uses a piecewise linear approximation to the flow curve (shear stress as a function of shear rate). This model exhibits multiple stationary states, one of which is linearly stable against general two-dimensional perturbations. This is in contrast to analogous results for the Johnson-Segalman model, which includes normal stresses, and which has been reported to be linearly unstable for general two-dimensional perturbations. This strongly suggests that the linear instabilities found in the Johnson-Segalman can be attributed to normal stress effects.

Dense emulsions, colloidal gels, microgels, and foams all display a solid-like behavior at rest characterized by a yield stress, above which the material flows like a liquid. Such a fluidization transition often consists of long-lasting transient flo ws that involve shear-banded velocity profiles. The characteristic time for full fluidization, $tau_text{f}$, has been reported to decay as a power-law of the shear rate $dot gamma$ and of the shear stress $sigma$ with respective exponents $alpha$ and $beta$. Strikingly, the ratio of these exponents was empirically observed to coincide with the exponent of the Herschel-Bulkley law that describes the steady-state flow behavior of these complex fluids. Here we introduce a continuum model, based on the minimization of a free energy, that captures quantitatively all the salient features associated with such textit{transient} shear-banding. More generally, our results provide a unified theoretical framework for describing the yielding transition and the steady-state flow properties of yield stress fluids.

We study the steady flow properties of different three-dimensional aqueous foams in a wide gap Couette geometry. From local velocity measurements through Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques and from viscosity bifurcation experiments, we find that t hese foams do not exhibit any observable signature of shear banding. This contrasts with two previous results (Rodts et al., Europhys. Lett., 69 (2005) 636 and Da Cruz et al., Phys. Rev. E, 66 (2002) 051305); we discuss possible reasons for this dicrepancy. Moreover, the foams we studied undergo steady flow for shear rates well below the critical shear rate recently predicted (Denkov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 103 (2009) 118302). Local measurements of the constitutive law finally show that these foams behave as simple Herschel-Bulkley yield stress fluids.

We investigate shear thickening and jamming within the framework of a family of spatially homogeneous, scalar rheological models. These are based on the `soft glassy rheology model of Sollich et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 2020 (1997)], but with an eff ective temperature x that is a decreasing function of either the global stress sigma or the local strain l. For appropiate x=x(sigma), it is shown that the flow curves include a region of negative slope, around which the stress exhibits hysteresis under a cyclically varying imposed strain rate gd. A subclass of these x(sigma) have flow curves that touch the gd=0 axis for a finite range of stresses; imposing a stress from this range {em jams} the system, in the sense that the strain gamma creeps only logarithmically with time t, gamma(t)simln t. These same systems may produce a finite asymptotic yield stress under an imposed strain, in a manner that depends on the entire stress history of the sample, a phenomenon we refer to as history--dependent jamming. In contrast, when x=x(l) the flow curves are always monotonic, but we show that some x(l) generate an oscillatory strain response for a range of steady imposed stresses. Similar spontaneous oscillations are observed in a simplified model with fewer degrees of freedom. We discuss this result in relation to the temporal instabilities observed in rheological experiments and stick--slip behaviour found in other contexts, and comment on the possible relationship with `delay differential equations that are known to produce oscillations and chaos.
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 present a Monte Carlo simulation study of the phase behavior of two-dimensional classical particles repelling each other through an isotropic Gaussian potential. As in the analogous three-dimensional case, a reentrant-melting transition occurs upo n compression for not too high temperatures, along with a spectrum of water-like anomalies in the fluid phase. However, in two dimensions melting is a continuous two-stage transition, with an intermediate hexatic phase which becomes increasingly more definite as pressure grows. All available evidence supports the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young scenario for this melting transition. We expect that such a phenomenology can be checked in confined monolayers of charge-stabilized colloids with a softened core.
