The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

This paper reviews applications of the lattice-Boltzmann method to simulations of particle-
fluid suspensions. We first summarize the available simulation methods for colloidal …

Surfactants–molecules and particles that preferentially adsorb to fluid interfaces–play a
ubiquitous role in the fluids of industry, of nature and of life. Since most surfactants cannot be …

This book presents a comprehensive overview of microrheology, emphasizing the
underlying theory, practical aspects of its implementation, and current applications to …

This study reports the ballistic penetration performance of a composite material composed of
woven Kevlar® fabric impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid (silica particles …

▪ Abstract We review the fluid mechanics and rheology of dense suspensions, emphasizing
investigations of microstructure and total stress.“Dense” or “highly concentrated” …

The viscosity of colloidal suspensions varies with shear rate, an important effect
encountered in many natural and industrial processes. Although this non-Newtonian …

Dynamic simulations of the pressure-driven flow in a channel of a non-Brownian suspension
at zero Reynolds number were conducted using Stokesian Dynamics. The simulations are …

With substantial progresses in reinforcement mechanism of nanoparticle filled polymers
(NPFPs) beyond the hydrodynamic limit, now is the time to reconsider this topic …

Colloidal dispersions play an important role in many different applications as eg, paints or
pharmaceutical formulations. Since the rheological behavior is relevant for processing of …
