A constraint-based approach to granular dispersion rheology
Abstract
We present a phenomenological model for granular suspension rheology in which particle interactions enter as constraints to relative particle motion. By considering constraints that are formed and released by stress respectively, we derive a range of experimental flow curves in a single treatment and predict singularities in viscosity and yield stress consistent with literature data. Fundamentally, we offer a generic description of suspension flow that is independent of bespoke microphysics.
