Microstructure of the fluid particles around the rigid body at the shear-thickening state toward understanding of the fluid mechanics

Abstract We studied the shear-thickening behavior of systems containing rigid spherical bodies immersed in smaller particles using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. We generated shear-thickening states through particle mass modulation of the systems. From the microstructures, i.e., two...
