Shear-induced organization of forces in dense suspensions: signatures of discontinuous shear thickening
Shear-induced organization of forces in dense suspensions: signatures of discontinuous shear thickening
Dense suspensions can exhibit an abrupt change in their viscosity in response to increasing shear rate. The origin of this discontinuous shear thickening (DST) has been ascribed to the transformation of lubricated contacts to frictional, particle-on-particle contacts. Recent research on the flowing and jamming behavior of dense suspensions has explored …
