Microstructural Rearrangements and their Rheological Implications in a Model Thixotropic Elastoviscoplastic Fluid

We identify the sequence of microstructural changes that characterize the evolution of an attractive particulate gel under flow and discuss their implications on macroscopic rheology. Dissipative particle dynamics is used to monitor shear-driven evolution of a fabric tensor constructed from the ense...
