Hydrodynamic and contact contributions to continuous shear thickening in colloidal suspensions

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: . and colleagues from the DepartmentCornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA have published the research work: Hydrodynamic and Contact Contributions to Continuous Shear Thickening in Colloidal Suspensions, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 25/Nov/2015
• what: The authors demonstrate that shear reversal techniques, pioneered by Gadala-Maria et_al , can distinguish the relative contributions of these stresses in noninertial shear thickening systems. In both systems, the experiments show that shear thickening occurs above a critical stress.
• how: To validate this interpretation and to probe the nature of these contact forces the authors conducted computer . . .
