A thorough and critical review on Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) is presented based on a
literature survey. The rheological properties of STFs are discussed considering many factors …

Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid raise the viscosity and also generally give rise to a
shear-rate dependent rheology. In particular, pronounced shear thickening may be …

The non-Newtonian shear rheology of colloidal dispersions is the result of the competition
and balance between hydrodynamic (dissipative) and thermodynamic (conservative) forces …

Shear thickening fluid (STF) treated textiles have been widely used in anti-impact structures
in recent years. STF treatment provides an enhanced energy absorbing capacity for textiles …

Two colloidal suspensions of paucidisperse, spherical silica particles with different surface
chemistries leading to extreme limits of surface contact friction are studied to identify …

Dense suspensions of hard particles are important as industrial or environmental materials
(eg fresh concrete, food, paint or mud). To date, most constitutive models developed to …

The rheology during the start-up and cessation of simple shear flow has been investigated
for near hard-sphere colloidal suspensions. Simulations augmented by theoretical analysis …

This paper presents a numerical study on suspensions of monodisperse non-Brownian
grains in a Couette flow. The fully resolved coupled smoothed particle hydrodynamics and …

Discrete particle simulations by accelerated Stokesian dynamics (ASD) and a
microstructural theory are applied to study the structure and viscosity of hard-sphere …

The formulation of detailed models for the dynamics of condensed soft matter including
colloidal suspensions and other complex fluids requires accurate description of the physical …
