Unifying length-scale-based rheology of dense suspensions

Z Ge, T Man, HE Huppert, KM Hill, SA Galindo-Torres - Physical Review Fluids, 2024 - APS
We present a length-scale-based rheology for dense sheared particle suspensions as they
transition from inertial-to viscous-dominated. We derive a length-scale ratio using …

Reconstruction of the internal volume fraction for particle-liquid system from imaging indicators by refractive index matching

Y Sun, J Jiao, Y An, X Wang, Q Liu - Acta Mechanica Sinica, 2024 - Springer
