Many-body dipole-induced dipole model for electrorheological fluids
, 2002 Theoretical investigations on electrorheological (ER) fluids usually rely on computer simulations. An initial approach for these studies would be the point-dipole (PD) approximation, which is known to err considerably when the particles approach and ...

Structural transition in bidispersed electrorheological fluids [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2005 We present results from finite element calculations on electrorheological fluids consisting of bidispersed dielectric microspheres and nanoparticles suspended in liquid, with one type much smaller than the other. The face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure of the larger microspheres is shown to be the ground state when the volume concentration of the ...
