Unified study of glass and jamming rheology in soft particle systems
Unified study of glass and jamming rheology in soft particle systems
We explore numerically the shear rheology of soft repulsive particles at large volume fraction. The interplay between viscous dissipation and thermal motion results in multiple rheological regimes encompassing Newtonian, shear-thinning, and yield stress regimes near the "colloidal" glass transition when thermal fluctuations are important, crossing over to qualitatively similar regimes …
