Nonlocal Granular Rheology: Role of Pressure and Anisotropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We probe the secondary rheology of granular media, by imposing a main flow and immersing a vane-shaped probe into the slowly flowing granulate. The secondary rheology is then the relation between the exerted torque T and rotation rate \omega of our probe.

Rheology and Contact Lifetime Distribution in Dense Granular Flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study the rheology and distribution of interparticle contact lifetimes for gravity-driven, dense granular flows of non-cohesive particles down an inclined plane using large-scale, three dimensional, granular dynamics simulations. Rather than observing a large number of long-lived contacts as might be expected for dense flows, brief binary collisions

Ultraslow dynamics and stress relaxation in the aging of a soft glassy system [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. Lett. 87, 245503 (2001), 2001
We use linear rheology and multispeckle dynamic light scattering (MDLS) to investigate the aging of a gel composed of multilamellar vesicles. Light scattering data indicate rearrangement of the gel through an unusual ultraslow ballistic motion. A dramatic slowdown of the dynamics with sample age $t_{w}$ is observed for both rheology and MDLS, the ...

Rheology of dense granular suspensions

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018
Suspensions are composed of mixtures of particles and fluid and are omnipresent in natural phenomena and in industrial processes. The present paper addresses the rheology of concentrated suspensions of non-colloidal particles.

Dissipation and Rheology of Sheared Soft-Core Frictionless Disks [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. Lett. 112, 208303 (2014), 2013
We use numerical simulations to investigate the effect of different dissipative models on the shearing rheology of massive soft-core frictionless disks in two dimensions. We show that the presence of Newtonian (overdamped) vs Bagnoldian (inertial) rheology is related to the formation of large connected clusters of disks, and that sharp transitions may ...

Dense granular flow rheology in turbulent bedload transport [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016
The local granular rheology is investigated numerically in turbulent bedload transport. Considering spherical particles, steady uniform configurations are simulated using a coupled fluid-discrete-element model. The stress tensor is computed as a function of the depth for a series of simulations varying the Shields number, the specific density and the ...

Shear Banding from lattice kinetic models with competing interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Soft Glassy Materials, Non Linear Rheology, Lattice Kinetic models, frustrated phase separation} We present numerical simulations based on a Boltzmann kinetic model with competing interactions, aimed at characterizating the rheological properties of soft-glassy materials. The lattice kinetic model is shown to reproduce typical signatures of driven soft-

Herschel-Bulkley rheology from lattice kinetic theory of soft-glassy materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We provide a clear evidence that a two species mesoscopic Lattice Boltzmann (LB) model with competing short-range attractive and mid-range repulsive interactions supports emergent Herschel-Bulkley (HB) rheology, i.e. a power-law dependence of the shear-stress as a function of the strain rate, beyond a given yield-stress threshold.

Processes controlling the downstream evolution of ice rheology in glacier shear margins: case study on Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2018
Ice rheology governs how glaciers flow and respond to environmental change. The rheology of glacier ice evolves in response to a variety of mechanisms, including damage, heating, melting and the development of crystalline fabric.

Designing invert emulsion drilling fluids for high temperature and high-pressure conditions [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Good and optimal rheology is a primary requisite for a drilling fluid to achieve better hole-cleaning and barite sag resistance. Conventional thickeners like organophilic clay that provide rheology to invert emulsion fluids degrade with time and thereby ...
