Translational and rotational irreversibility in cyclically sheared colloidal suspensions
Austin H. Walker, Jeffrey S. Urbach, Daniel L. Blair
We investigate the translational and rotational dynamics of cyclically sheared suspensions over a broad range of particle concentrations. The transition to an irreversible state is…
Disentangling microstructural elements of shear thickening suspensions via computer simulations of a minimal model
William C. J. Buchholtz, Daniel L. Blair, Jeffrey S. Urbach +2
We use a minimal model for a dense suspension undergoing thickening and thinning to investigate microstructural changes in 2d simulations. Our simulations show that in steady flow…
The effect of curvature on the diffusion of colloidal bananas
Justin-Aurel Ulbrich, Carla Fernandez-Rico, Brian Rost +4
Anisotropic colloidal particles exhibit complex dynamics which play a crucial role in their functionality, transport and phase behaviour. In this work, we investigate the two-dimen…
Order and density fluctuations near the boundary in sheared dense suspensions
Joia M. Miller, Daniel L. Blair, Jeffrey S. Urbach
We introduce a novel approach to reveal ordering fluctuations in sheared dense suspensions, using line scanning in a combined rheometer and laser scanning confocal microscope. We v…
Bonded straight and helical flagellar filaments form ultra-low-density glasses
Sevim Yardimci, Thomas Gibaud, Walter Schwenger +4
We study how the three-dimensional shape of rigid filaments determines the microscopic dynamics and macroscopic rheology of entangled semi-dilute Brownian suspensions. To control t…
Structure of propagating high stress fronts in a shear thickening suspension
Vikram Rathee, Joia M. Miller, Daniel L. Blair +1
We report direct measurements of spatially resolved stress at the boundary of a shear thickening cornstarch suspension revealing persistent regions of high local stress propagating…
