Shear thinning and shear thickening of a confined suspension of vesicles [PDF]
Widely regarded as an interesting model system for studying flow properties of blood, vesicles are closed membranes of phospholipids that mimic the cytoplasmic membranes of red blood cells. In this study we analyze the rheology of a suspension of vesicles in a confined geometry: the suspension, bound by two planar rigid walls on each side, is subject ...

Effect of Surface Roughness on the Rheology of Silica-Coated Styrene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer Suspensions [PDF]
Hypothesis: Today, due to the widespread use of coarse particle suspensions in chemical industry, the tendency to study the rheological behaviour of suspensions has increased significantly.

Generality of shear thickening in dense suspensions [PDF]
Suspensions are of wide interest and form the basis for many smart fluids. For most suspensions, the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, that is, they shear thin. Few are reported to do the opposite, that is, shear thicken, despite the longstanding expectation that shear thickening is a generic type of suspension behaviour.

(Dis)continuous shear thickening in frictionless granular media? [PDF]
Continuous and discontinuous shear thickening are commonly observed in sheared dense suspensions but are still not fully understood. Although micro-friction at particle-particle contacts is widely accepted as the dominating origin of discontinuous shear ...

‘Shear thickening’ in non-shear flows: the effect of microstructure [PDF]
The bizarre behaviour of a cornstarch suspension (sometimes called oobleck) is well known to all of us who have led public engagement events. At the right solids fraction, it flows smoothly at slow speeds, but can be shattered with a quick spoon movement; if you prepare a large enough sample, you can run across the surface (but if you stand still, you ...

Effects of Shear-Thickening Characteristics of Silica-Polyethylene Glycol on Immiscible Newtonian-NonNewtonian Fluids Interfacial Dynamics in Radial Displacement Inside the Hele-Shaw Cell [PDF]
This study experimentally investigates the phenomenon of viscous fingering during the radial displacement of immiscible fluids within a Hele-Shaw cell, focusing on the interaction between a Newtonian and a shear-thickening fluid.
