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…
