Dense suspensions of hard particles in a Newtonian liquid can be jammed by shear when the applied stress exceeds a certain threshold. However, this jamming transition from a fluid into a solidified state cannot be probed with conventional steady-state rheology because the stress distribution inside the material cannot be controlled with sufficient precision. Here we introduce and validate a method that overcomes this obstacle. Rapidly propagating shear fronts are generated and used to establish well-controlled local stress conditions that sweep across the material. Exploiting such transient flows, we are able to track how a dense suspension approaches its shear jammed state dynamically, and can quantitatively map out the onset stress for solidification in a state diagram.

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 to dramatic increases in viscosity (shear-thickening) or even solidifi cation (shear jamming). These phenomena occur above a characteristic onset stress when particles are forced into frictional contact. Here we show via simulations how this can be understood within a framework that abstracts details of the forces acting at particle-particle contacts into general stress-activated constraints on relative particle movement. We find that focusing on just two constraints, affecting sliding and rolling at contact, can reproduce the experimentally observed shear thickening behavior quantitatively, despite widely different particle properties, surface chemistries, and suspending fluids. Within this framework parameters such as coefficients of sliding and rolling friction can each be viewed as a proxy for one or more forces of different physical or chemical origin, while the parameter magnitudes indicate the relative importance of the associated constraint. In this way, a new link is established that connects features observable in macroscale rheological measurements to classes of constraints arising from micro- or nano-scale properties.
The presence and the microscopic origin of normal stress differences in dense suspensions under simple shear flows are investigated by means of inertialess particle dynamics simulations, taking into account hydrodynamic lubrication and frictional con tact forces. The synergic action of hydrodynamic and contact forces between the suspended particles is found to be the origin of negative contributions to the first normal stress difference $N_1$, whereas positive values of $N_1$ observed at higher volume fractions near jamming are due to effects that cannot be accounted for in the hard-sphere limit. Furthermore, we found that the stress anisotropy induced by the planarity of the simple shear flow vanishes as the volume fraction approaches the jamming point for frictionless particles, while it remains finite for the case of frictional particles.
We develop a statistical framework for the rheology of dense, non-Brownian suspensions, based on correlations in a space representing forces, which is dual to position space. Working with the ensemble of steady state configurations obtained from simu lations of suspensions in two dimensions, we find that the anisotropy of the pair correlation function in force space changes with confining shear stress ($sigma_{xy}$) and packing fraction ($phi$). Using these microscopic correlations, we build a statistical theory for the macroscopic friction coefficient: the anisotropy of the stress tensor, $mu = sigma_{xy}/P$. We find that $mu$ decreases (i) as $phi$ is increased and (ii) as $sigma_{xy}$ is increased. Using a new constitutive relation between $mu$ and viscosity for dense suspensions that generalizes the rate-independent one, we show that our theory predicts a Discontinuous Shear Thickening (DST) flow diagram that is in good agreement with numerical simulations, and the qualitative features of $mu$ that lead to the generic flow diagram of a DST fluid observed in experiments.

We experimentally investigate the rheology and stress fluctuations of granules densely suspended in silicone oil. We find that both thickening strength and stress fluctuations significantly weaken with oil viscosity $eta_0$. Comparison of our rheolog ical results to the Wyart-Cates model for describing different dynamic jamming states suggests a transition from frictional contacts to lubrication interactions as $eta_0$ increases. To clarify the contribution from viscous interactions to the rheology, we systematically measure stress fluctuations in various flow states. Reduction of stress fluctuations with $eta_0$ indicates that a strong lubrication layer greatly inhibits force correlations among particles. Measuring stress fluctuations in the strong shear thickening regime, we observe a crossover from asymmetric Gamma to symmetric Gaussian distributions and associated with it a decrease of lateral (radial) correlation length $xi$ with increasing shear rate.
Dense suspensions are non-Newtonian fluids which exhibit strong shear thickening and normal stress differences. Using numerical simulation of extensional and shear flows, we investigate how rheological properties are determined by the microstructure which is built under flows and by the interactions between particles. By imposing extensional and shear flows, we can assess the degree of flow-type dependence in regimes below and above thickening. Even when the flow-type dependence is hindered, nondissipative responses, such as normal stress differences, are present and characterise the non-Newtonian behaviour of dense suspensions.
