The formation and amplification of streamwise velocity perturbations induced by cross-
stream disturbances is ubiquitous in shear flows. This disturbance growth mechanism, so …

Dense particle suspensions are widely encountered in many applications and in
environmental flows. While many previous studies investigate their rheological properties in …

Since the seminal study by Bagnold in 1954, which was inspired by sand movement in the
desert and sediment transport in rivers, researchers have continued to investigate inertial …

We present a modification of a recently developed volume of fluid method for multiphase
problems (Ii et al. in J Comput Phys 231 (5): 2328–2358, 2012), so that it can be used in …

The aim of this Letter is to characterize the flow regimes of suspensions of finite-size rigid
particles in a viscous fluid at finite inertia. We explore the system behavior as a function of …

We study the effect of varying the mass and volume fraction of a suspension of rigid spheres
dispersed in a turbulent channel flow. We performed several direct numerical simulations …

The macroscopic behavior of dense suspensions of neutrally buoyant spheres in turbulent
plane channel flow is examined. We show that particles larger than the smallest turbulence …

Shear thinning—a reduction in suspension viscosity with increasing shear rates—is
understood to arise in colloidal systems from a decrease in the relative contribution of …

We study suspensions of oblate rigid particles in a viscous fluid for different values of the
particle volume fractions. Direct numerical simulations have been performed using a direct …

We report experimental and computational observations of dynamic contact networks for
colloidal suspensions undergoing shear thickening. The dense suspensions are comprised …
