Effect of particle collisions in dense suspension flows | | Gustavo Düring

26 Feb 2016 | | Abstract: | We study non-local effects associated with particle collisions in dense
suspension flows, in the context of the affine solvent model known to capture
various aspects of the jamming transition. We show that an individual collision
changes significantly the velocity field on a characteristic volume
$Omega_csim 1/delta z$ that diverges as jamming is approached, where $delta
z$ is the deficit in coordination number required to jam the system. Such an
event also affects the contact forces between particles on that same volume
$Omega_c$, but this change is modest in relative terms, of order $f_{coll}sim
ar{f}^{0.8}$, where $ar{f}$ is the typical contact force scale. We then
show that the requirement that coordination is stationary (such that a
collision has a finite probability to open one contact elsewhere in the system)
yields the scaling of the viscosity (or equivalently the viscous number) with
coordination deficit $delta z$. The same scaling result was derived in
[E.~DeGiuli, G.~D"uring, E.~Lerner, and M.~Wyart, Phys.~Rev.~E {f 91},
062206 (2015)] via different arguments making an additional assumption. The
present approach gives a mechanistic justification as to why the correct finite
size scaling volume behaves as $1/delta z$, and can be used to recover a
marginality condition known to characterize the distributions of contact forces
and gaps in jammed packings. | | Source: | arXiv, 1602.8317 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
