Shear-driven flow of athermal, frictionless, spherocylinder suspensions in two dimensions: Stress, jamming, and contacts
Shear-driven flow of athermal, frictionless, spherocylinder suspensions in two dimensions: Stress, jamming, and contacts
We use numerical simulations to study the flow of a bidisperse mixture of athermal, frictionless, soft-core two-dimensional spherocylinders driven by a uniform steady-state shear strain applied at a fixed finite rate. Energy dissipation occurs via a viscous drag with respect to a uniformly sheared host fluid, giving a simple model …
