We simulate a dense athermal suspension of soft particles sheared between hard walls of a prescribed roughness profile, using a method that fully accounts for the fluid mechanics of the solvent between the particles, and between the particles and the walls, as well as for the solid mechanics of changes in the particle shapes. We thus capture the widely observed phenomenon of elastohydrodynamic wall slip, in which the soft particles become deformed in shear and lift away from the wall slightly, leaving behind a thin lubricating solvent layer of high shear. For imposed stresses below the materials bulk yield stress, we show the observed wall slip to be dominated by this thin solvent layer. At higher stresses, it is augmented by an additional contribution arising from a fluidisation of the first few layers of particles near the wall. By systematically varying the roughness of the walls, we quantify a suppression of slip with increasing wall roughness. For smooth walls, slip radically changes the steady state bulk flow curve of shear stress as a function of shear rate, by conferring a branch of apparent (slip-induced) flow even for $sigma<sigma_y$, as seen experimentally. We also elucidate the effects of slip on the dynamics of yielding following the imposition of a constant shear stress, characterising the timescales at which bulk yielding arises, and at which slip first sets in.

We present a comprehensive study of the slip and flow of concentrated colloidal suspensions using cone-plate rheometry and simultaneous confocal imaging. In the colloidal glass regime, for smooth, non-stick walls, the solid nature of the suspension c
auses a transition in the rheology from Herschel-Bulkley (HB) bulk flow behavior at large stress to a Bingham-like slip behavior at low stress, which is suppressed for sufficient colloid-wall attraction or colloid-scale wall roughness. Visualization shows how the slip-shear transition depends on gap size and the boundary conditions at both walls and that partial slip persist well above the yield stress. A phenomenological model, incorporating the Bingham slip law and HB bulk flow, fully accounts for the behavior. Microscopically, the Bingham law is related to a thin (sub-colloidal) lubrication layer at the wall, giving rise to a characteristic dependence of slip parameters on particle size and concentration. We relate this to the suspensions osmotic pressure and yield stress and also analyze the influence of van der Waals interaction. For the largest concentrations, we observe non-uniform flow around the yield stress, in line with recent work on bulk shear-banding of concentrated pastes. We also describe residual slip in concentrated liquid suspensions, where the vanishing yield stress causes coexistence of (weak) slip and bulk shear flow for all measured rates.
We image the flow of a nearly random close packed, hard-sphere colloidal suspension (a `paste) in a square capillary using confocal microscopy. The flow consists of a `plug in the center while shear occurs localized adjacent to the channel walls, rem
iniscent of yield-stress fluid behavior. However, the observed scaling of the velocity profiles with the flow rate strongly contrasts yield-stress fluid predictions. Instead, the velocity profiles can be captured by a theory of stress fluctuations originally developed for chute flow of dry granular media. We verified this behavior both for smooth and rough boundary conditions.
The motion of soft-glassy materials (SGM) in a confined geometry is strongly impacted by surface roughness. However, the effect of the spatial distribution of the roughness remains poorly understood from a more quantitative viewpoint. Here we present
a comprehensive study of concentrated emulsions flowing in microfluidic channels, one wall of which is patterned with micron-size equally spaced grooves oriented perpendicularly to the flow direction. We show that roughness-induced fluidization can be quantitatively tailored by systematically changing both the width and separation of the grooves. We find that a simple scaling law describes such fluidization as a function of the density of grooves, suggesting common scenarios for droplet trapping and release. Numerical simulations confirm these views and are used to elucidate the relation between fluidization and the rate of plastic rearrangements.
An experimental system has been found recently, a coagulated CaCO3 suspension system, which shows very variable yield behaviour depending upon how it is tested and, specifically, at what rate it is sheared. At Peclet numbers Pe > 1 it behaves as a si
mple Herschel Bulkley liquid, whereas at Pe < 1 highly non-monotonic flow curves are seen. In controlled stress testing it shows hysteresis and shear banding and in the usual type of stress scan, used to measure flow curves in controlled stress mode routinely, it can show very erratic and irreproducible behaviour. All of these features will be attributed here to a dependence of the solid phase, or, yield stress, on the prevailing rate of shear at the yield point. Stress growth curves obtained from step strain-rate testing showed that this rate-dependence was a consequence of Peclet number dependent strain softening. At very low Pe, yield was cooperative and the yield strain was order-one, whereas as Pe approached unity, the yield strain reduced to that needed to break interparticle bonds, causing the yield stress to be greatly reduced. It is suspected that rate-dependent yield could well be the rule rather than the exception for cohesive suspensions more generally. If so, then the Herschel-Bulkley equation can usefully be generalized to read (in simple shear). The proposition that rate-dependent yield might be general for cohesive suspensions is amenable to critical experimental testing by a range of means and along lines suggested.
Yielding behavior is well known in attractive colloidal suspensions. Adhesive non-Brownian suspensions, in which the interparticle bonds are due to finite-size contacts, also show yielding behavior. We use a combination of steady-state, oscillatory a
nd shear-reversal rheology to probe the physical origins of yielding in the latter class of materials, and find that yielding is not simply a matter of breaking adhesive bonds, but involves unjamming from a shear-jammed state in which the micro-structure has adapted to the direction of the applied load. Comparison with a recent constraint-based rheology model shows the importance of friction in determining the yield stress, suggesting novel ways to tune the flow of such suspensions.
