Kayaking and wagging of rods in shear flow.
For the first time, we have simulated the periodic collective orientational motions performed by rigid liquid-crystalline polymers with large aspect ratio in the nematic state in shear flow. In order to be able to do so, we developed a new, event-driven Brownian dynamics technique. We present the results of simulations of rods with aspect ratios L/d ranging from 20 to 60 at volume fractions phi...

Interactions and Collective Behavior of Attractive Colloidal Rods and Microspheres Grafted with Filamentous Bacteriophage A dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts by Fei Huang Interactions and collective behavior are investigated for two systems of attractive colloidal rods and colloidal stars. Attractive ...
متن کاملShear banding and flow-concentration coupling in colloidal glasses.
We report experiments on hard-sphere colloidal glasses that show a type of shear banding hitherto unobserved in soft glasses. We present a scenario that relates this to an instability due to shear-concentration coupling, a mechanism previously thought unimportant in these materials. Below a characteristic shear rate γ(c) we observe increasingly nonlinear and localized velocity profiles. We attr...
متن کاملThe order-disorder transition in colloidal suspensions under shear flow
We study the order-disorder transition in colloidal suspensions under shear flow by performing Brownian dynamics simulations. We characterize the transition in terms of a statistical property of time-dependent maximum value of the structure factor. We find that its power spectrum exhibits the power-law behaviour only in the ordered phase. The power-law exponent is approximately -2 at frequencie...
متن کاملShear Thickening and Gel Elasticity in a Colloidal System with Attractive Interactions
Dilute oil dispersions of carbon black particles with attractive Van der Waals interactions display shear thickening in two distinct regimes. The first occurs at low shear rates, γ̇c1 ≈ 100s−1 along with the formation of vorticity aligned shear-induced structures. The second high shear regime with γ̇c2 ≈ 102−3s−1 is driven by hydrodynamic breakup of clusters. Pre-shearing in the high rate shear t...
