Dense suspensions of particles are relevant to many applications and are a key platform for
developing a fundamental physics of out-of-equilibrium systems. They present challenging …

This paper presents a compilation of experimental and numerical results that both show that
particles in a suspension under shear flow come into contact through surface roughness …

Shear thinning is one of the most significant Non-Newtonian rheological behaviors of waxy
crude oil, which is also the macroscopic performance attributing to the microstructural …

Viscosity of cement-based materials incorporating manufactured sand is affected by the
content and physical properties of the microfines in the sand. However, some of the …

Suspension rheology is of widespread importance to industry and research. The rheology of
spherical silica particle suspensions with different particle volume fractions and particle size …

The workability and pumping performance of alkali-activated slag (AAS) concrete are
affected by its rheological properties, which are related to the interactions between slag …

This paper focuses on shear-thinning in non-Brownian suspensions. In particular, it
proposes a quantitative experimental validation of the model proposed by Lobry et al.[J …

We investigate the effects of fiber aspect ratio, roughness, flexibility, and volume fraction on
the rheology of concentrated suspensions in a steady shear flow using direct numerical …

Carbon structures, unlike metals or polymers, can hardly be directly implemented in additive
manufacturing, and their sustainable nature is extremely limited. In this work, we …

Shear thinning is fundamental to a broad range of particle suspensions, both in nature and
in industrial applications. Yet the mechanisms governing it remain unclear. In particular, the …
