Shear thickening in concentrated suspensions: phenomenology, mechanisms and relations to jamming
Shear thickening is a type of non-Newtonian behavior in which the stress required to shear a
fluid increases faster than linearly with shear rate. Many concentrated suspensions of …

[HTML][HTML] Shear thickening, frictionless and frictional rheologies in non-Brownian suspensions
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 …

Discontinuous shear thickening without inertia in dense non-Brownian suspensions
A consensus is emerging that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in dense suspensions
marks a transition from a flow state where particles remain well separated by lubrication …

The physics of jamming for granular materials: a review
Granular materials consist of macroscopic grains, interacting via contact forces, and
unaffected by thermal fluctuations. They are one of a class systems that undergo jamming, ie …

Colloidal hard spheres: Triumphs, challenges, and mysteries
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 …

Direct observation of dynamic shear jamming in dense suspensions
Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …

Towards a unified description of the rheology of hard-particle suspensions
The rheology of suspensions of Brownian, or colloidal, particles (diameter d≲ 1 μ m) differs
markedly from that of larger grains (d≳ 50 μ m). Each of these two regimes has been …
