Abstract

Shear thickening is the increase of viscosity as shear rate or stress increases. For concentrated or dense suspensions of solid particles, this phenomenon may take the extreme form known as discontinuous shear thickening (DST). In DST, the relative viscosity ηr exhibits a discontinuous variation when presented as a function of the shear rate γ̇, typically with a large jump in viscosity at the discontinuity; ηr(ϕ)=η(ϕ)/η0, with η0 the suspending fluid viscosity and ϕ the solid volume fraction. Rate dependence implies that ηr is a function not only of ϕ but also of γ̇ or the shear stress σ. A scenario in which the close interactions between particles undergo a stress-driven lubricated-to-frictional (LF) transition provides a coherent mechanistic basis for the shear thickening seen in dense suspensions. Prior study of shear thickening leading to the proposal of the LF transition is briefly reviewed. The LF scenario and its predictions are presented, along with a perspective on unresolved issues on widely different scales, from contact interactions to system-spanning force networks.
