Colloids, grains and dense suspensions: under flow and under arrest.
This Theme Issue reports papers presented at a Discussion Meeting intended to bring together those working on colloids (suspended particles small enough to have strong Brownian motion) with those working on non-Brownian systems such as dry granular matter, dense suspensions of larger particles and pastes. A better understanding of flow and arrest in these systems is of potential value to wide a...
متن کاملDense colloidal suspensions under time-dependent shear.
We consider the nonlinear rheology of dense colloidal suspensions under a time-dependent simple shear flow. Starting from the Smoluchowski equation for interacting Brownian particles advected by shearing (ignoring fluctuations in fluid velocity), we develop a formalism which enables the calculation of time-dependent, far-from-equilibrium averages. Taking shear stress as an example, we derive ex...
متن کاملStability of Concentrated Suspensions under Couette and Poiseuille Flow
The stability of two-dimensional Poiseuille flow and plane Couette flow for concentrated suspensions is investigated. Linear stability analysis of the two-phase flow model for both flow geometries shows the existence of a convectively driven instability with increasing growth rates of the unstable modes as the particle volume fraction of the suspension increases. In addition it is shown that th...
متن کاملA structural analysis of concentrated, aggregated colloids under flow
Using both instantaneous snapshots and simulation generated scattering data, the steady-state ̄ ow behaviour of a concentrated aggregated colloidal suspension is analysed in terms of its structure factor S(k). We ® nd that in the shear thinning regime, unlike model hard sphere results, S(k) exhibits pre-peaks at small k, which we interpret as indicative of intermediate range order in the shear i...
متن کاملThe order-disorder transition of colloidal suspensions under shear flow
We study the order-disorder transition of colloidal suspensions under shear flow by performing Brownian dynamics simulations. We characterize the transition in terms of a statistical property of time-dependent maximum value of the structure factor. We find that its power spectrum exhibits the power-law behaviour only in the ordered phase. The power-law exponent is roughly -2 in the higher frequ...
