Tunable shear thickening in active frictional non-Brownian suspensions
Bhanu Prasad Bhowmik, Christopher Ness
We study tunable shear thickening in active suspensions of non-Brownian, repulsive, frictional grains using particle-based simulation, finding that activity augments the rheology b…

Unifying homogeneous and inhomogeneous rheology of dense suspensions
Bhanu Prasad Bhowmik, Christopher Ness
The rheology of dense suspensions lacks a universal description due to the involvement of a wide variety of parameters, ranging from the physical properties of solid particles to t…

Absorbing-state transitions in particulate systems under spatially varying driving
Bhanu Prasad Bhowmik, Christopher Ness
We study the absorbing state transition in particulate systems under spatially inhomogeneous driving using a modified random organization model. For smoothly varying driving the st…
