Although hydraulic fracturing is a mature technology that has been used commercially since
the late 1940s, the development of unconventional hydrocarbon fields with the combination …

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

Suspensions are composed of mixtures of particles and fluid and are omnipresent in natural
phenomena and in industrial processes. The present paper addresses the rheology of …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

Active suspensions, such as suspensions of self-propelled microorganisms and related
synthetic microswimmers, are known to undergo complex dynamics and pattern formation as …

This paper presents three-dimensional numerical simulations of non-Brownian concentrated
suspensions in a Couette flow at zero Reynolds number using a fictitious domain method …

We present an experimental approach used to measure both normal stress differences and
the particle phase contribution to the normal stresses in suspensions of non-Brownian hard …

We study the rheological behavior of suspensions of noncolloidal spheres in yield stress
fluids (concentrated emulsions). These are good model systems for understanding, eg, the …

Normal stress differences are measured in dense suspensions of neutrally buoyant non-
Brownian spheres dispersed in a Newtonian fluid. Rotating-rod rheometry is used to …

We propose a two-phase two-thin-layer model for fluidized debris flows that takes into
account dilatancy effects, based on the closure relation proposed by Roux & Radjai (Physics …
