Nonequilibrium master kinetic equation modelling of colloidal gelation
Joep Rouwhorst, Peter Schall, Christopher Ness +2
We present a detailed study of the kinetic cluster growth process during gelation of weakly attractive colloidal particles by means of experiments on critical Casimir attractive co…
Nonequilibrium continuous phase transition in colloidal gelation with short-range attraction
Joep Rouwhorst, Christopher Ness, Simeon Stoyanov +2
The dynamical arrest of attractive colloidal particles into out-of-equilibrium structures, known as gelation, is central to biophysics, materials science, nanotechnology, and food…
Shear thickening and jamming of dense suspensions: the "roll" of friction
Abhinendra Singh, Christopher Ness, Ryohei Seto +2
Particle-based simulations of discontinuous shear thickening (DST) and shear jamming (SJ) suspensions are used to study the role of stress-activated constraints, with an emphasis o…
Absorbing-state transitions in granular materials close to jamming
Christopher Ness, Michael E. Cates
We consider a model for driven particulate matter in which absorbing states can be reached both by particle isolation and by particle caging. The model predicts a non-equilibrium p…
Testing the Wyart-Cates model for non-Brownian shear thickening using bidisperse suspensions
Ben M. Guy, Christopher Ness, Michiel Hermes +3
There is a growing consensus that shear thickening of concentrated dispersions is driven by the formation of stress-induced frictional contacts. The Wyart-Cates (WC) model of this…
Shaken and stirred: Random organization reduces viscosity and dissipation in granular suspensions
Christopher Ness, Romain Mari, Michael E Cates
The viscosity of suspensions of large () particles diverges at high solid fractions due to proliferation of frictional particle contacts. Reducing friction, to allow or…
