Macroscopic Discontinuous Shear Thickening vs Local Shear Jamming in Cornstarch
arXiv:1501.05616 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.098301
Abstract
We study the emergence of discontinuous shear-thickening (DST) in cornstarch, by combining macroscopic rheometry with local Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measurements. We bring evidence that macroscopic DST is observed only when the flow separates into a low-density flowing and a high-density jammed region. In the shear-thickened steady state, the local rheology in the flowing region, is not DST but, strikingly, is often shear-thinning. Our data thus show that the stress jump measured during DST, in cornstach, does not capture a secondary, high-viscosity branch of the local steady rheology, but results from the existence of a shear jamming limit at volume fractions quite significantly below random close packing.
