Age-dependent transient shear banding in soft glasses
Robyn L. Moorcroft, Michael E. Cates, Suzanne M. Fielding
We study numerically the formation of long-lived transient shear bands during shear startup within two models of soft glasses (a simple fluidity model and an adapted `soft glassy r…
Lattice Boltzmann simulations of liquid crystalline fluids: active gels and blue phases
M. E. Cates, O. Henrich, D. Marenduzzo +1
Lattice Boltzmann simulations have become a method of choice to solve the hydrodynamic equations of motion of a number of complex fluids. Here we review some recent applications of…
Ordering dynamics of blue phases entails kinetic stabilization of amorphous networks
O. Henrich, K. Stratford, D. Marenduzzo +1
The cubic blue phases of liquid crystals are fascinating and technologically promising examples of hierarchically structured soft materials, comprising ordered networks of defect l…
Hard discs under steady shear: comparison of Brownian dynamics simulations and mode coupling theory
O. Henrich, F. Weysser, M. E. Cates +1
Brownian dynamics simulations of bidisperse hard discs moving in two dimensions in a given steady and homogeneous shear flow are presented close to and above the glasstransition de…
