Schematic mode coupling theories for shear thinning, shear thickening, and jamming
M. E. Cates, C. B. Holmes, M. Fuchs +1
Mode coupling theory (MCT) appears to explain several, though not all, aspects of the glass transition in colloids (particularly when short-range attractions are present). Developm…
Binary fluid demixing: The crossover region
Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Alexander J. Wagner, M. E. Cates
By performing lattice Boltzmann simulations of a binary mixture, we scrutinize the dynamical scaling hypothesis for the spinodal decomposition of binary mixtures for the crossover…
Stabilisation of Emulsions by Trapped Species
A. J. Webster, M. E. Cates
We consider an emulsion whose droplets contain a trapped species (insoluble in the continuous phase), and study the emulsion's stability against coarsening via Lifshitz-Slyozov dyn…
Models of stress propagation in granular media
J. -P. Bouchaud, P. Claudin, M. E. Cates +1
Stress patterns in static granular media exhibit unusual features when compared to either liquids or elastic solids. Qualitatively, we attribute these features to the presence of `…
