Shear thickening in concentrated suspensions: phenomenology, mechanisms and relations to jamming
Shear thickening in concentrated suspensions: phenomenology, mechanisms and relations to jamming
Shear thickening is a type of non-Newtonian behavior in which the stress required to shear a fluid increases faster than linearly with shear rate. Many concentrated suspensions of particles exhibit an especially dramatic version, known as Discontinuous Shear Thickening (DST), in which the stress suddenly jumps with increasing shear rate …
