Diverging viscosity and soft granular rheology in non-Brownian suspensions
Diverging viscosity and soft granular rheology in non-Brownian suspensions
The authors did large-scale three-dimensional simulations of non-Brownian suspensions of soft- and hard-sphere particles. From measurements of viscosity over five orders of magnitude, they conclude that rheology at the jamming density is described by a sum of three power laws, and that asymptotic behaviors are not simply connected by scaling …
