Rheology and Structure of Concentrated Suspensions of Hard Spheres. Shear Induced Particle Migration
نویسندگان
چکیده
The apparent shear viscosity, in the non-Browman Ilmit, for a homogeneous suspension of monodispersed hard spheres in systems ranging from dilute to concentrated was previously established. From an estimation of the viscous dissipation. We use the inter-particle distance dependence of the shear viscosity for determining the components of a local stress tensor associated with the transient network of particles for the volume fraction above the percolation

Towards a Unified Description of the Rheology of Hard-Particle Suspensions.
The rheology of suspensions of Brownian, or colloidal, particles (diameter d≲1 μm) differs markedly from that of larger grains (d≳50 μm). Each of these two regimes has been separately studied, but the flow of suspensions with intermediate particle sizes (1 μm≲d≲50 μm), which occur ubiquitously in applications, remains poorly understood. By measuring the rheology of suspensions of hard spher...
متن کاملRheology and dynamics of colloidal superballs.
Recent advances in colloidal synthesis make it possible to generate a wide array of precisely controlled, non-spherical particles. This provides a unique opportunity to probe the role that particle shape plays in the dynamics of colloidal suspensions, particularly at higher volume fractions, where particle interactions are important. We examine the role of particle shape by characterizing both ...
متن کاملRheology of non-Brownian particles suspended in concentrated colloidal dispersions at low particle Reynolds number
The shear flow of non-Brownian glass spheres suspended in a concentrated colloidal dispersion that exhibits non-Newtonian rheology is investigated. At low volume fractions, the addition of non-Brownian spherical particles to the colloidal dispersion leads to an increase in the shear viscosity as well as the dynamic moduli. The flow curves of these suspensions are qualitatively similar to the su...

متن کاملStokesian Dynamics simulation of Brownian suspensions
The non-equilibrium behaviour of concentrated colloidal dispersions is studied by Stokesian Dynamics, a general molecular-dynamics-like technique for simulating particles suspended in a viscous fluid. The simulations are of a suspension of monodisperse Brownian hard spheres in simple shear flow as a function of the Peclet number, Pe, which measures the relative importance of shear and Brownian ...
