Boundary compliance selects heterogeneous dynamics in shear-thickening suspensions
Li-Xin Shi, Meng-Fei Hu, Song-Chuan Zhao
The mechanical properties of confining boundaries can fundamentally alter the flow behaviour of shear-thickening suspensions. We study a dense cornstarch suspension sheared beneath…
Boundary conditions alter density and stress fluctuations in shear-thickening suspensions
Meng-Fei Hu, Song-Chuan Zhao
Discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in dense suspensions is accompanied by significant fluctuations in stress at a fixed shear rate. In this work, normal stress fluctuations are s…
Freezing delay of a drop impacting on a monolayer of cold grains
Yudong Li, Song-Chuan Zhao
We investigate a subfreezing droplet impact scenario in a low-humidity environment, where the target is a cold granular monolayer. When the undercooling degree of targets passes a…
Localized jammed clusters persist in shear-thickening suspension subjected to swirling excitation
Li-Xin Shi, Song-Chuan Zhao
We investigate the dynamic evolution of heterogeneity in shear-thickening suspensions subjected to swirling excitation with a free surface. The uniform state of such a system may l…
Cold granular targets slow the bulk freezing of an impacting droplet
Song-Chuan Zhao, Hao-Jie Zhang, Yudong Li
When making contact with an undercooled target, a drop freezes. The colder the target is, the more rapid the freezing is supposed to be. In this research, we explore the impact of…
Emergence of a hexagonal pattern in shear-thickening suspensions under orbital oscillations
Li-Xin Shi, Meng-Fei Hu, Song-Chuan Zhao
Dense particle suspension under shear may lose its uniform state to large local density and stress fluctuations, which challenge the mean-field description of the system. Here, we…
