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…

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…

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…
