Shear-induced configurations of confined colloidal suspensions.
We show that geometric confinement dramatically affects the shear-induced configurations of dense monodisperse colloidal suspensions; a new structure emerges, where layers of particles buckle to stack in a more efficient packing. The volume fraction in the shear zone is controlled by a balance between the viscous stresses and the osmotic pressure of a contacting reservoir of unsheared particles...
متن کاملColloidal suspensions in confined geometries
In the presence of geometric confinements such as topographically patterned surfaces, strong light fields, or channels the phase behavior and the dynamical properties of colloidal suspensions are strongly modified in comparison to the bulk properties. Because such geometric confinements play an important role in many physical, biological and chemical processes, investigations of the properties ...
متن کاملShear-induced particle migration in binary colloidal suspensions
We present experimental investigations of the spatial and temporal evolution of particle migration in pressure driven flows of Brownian particle suspensions. Binary suspensions of 1.4 and 3.0 m diameter colloidal particles are pumped through a 50 500 m2 rectangular-cross-section capillary tube. Shear rate gradients caused by the resulting parabolic velocity profile drive the particles away from...
متن کاملCrystal nucleation of colloidal suspensions under shear.
We use Brownian dynamics simulations in combination with the umbrella sampling technique to study the effect of shear flow on homogeneous crystal nucleation. We find that a homogeneous shear rate leads to a significant suppression of the crystal nucleation rate and to an increase of the size of the critical nucleus. A simple, phenomenological extension of classical nucleation theory accounts fo...
متن کاملDense colloidal suspensions under time-dependent shear.
We consider the nonlinear rheology of dense colloidal suspensions under a time-dependent simple shear flow. Starting from the Smoluchowski equation for interacting Brownian particles advected by shearing (ignoring fluctuations in fluid velocity), we develop a formalism which enables the calculation of time-dependent, far-from-equilibrium averages. Taking shear stress as an example, we derive ex...
