Study of rigid clusters in dense bidisperse suspensions under high shear
Date:
Dense non-Brownian suspensions, found in industries like cement and chocolate, exhibit complex flow behavior influenced by shear and particle interactions. Using LF-DEM, we study 2D bidisperse systems, modeling polydispersity and jamming transitions. Employing the pebble game algorithm, we analyze rigidity percolation, particle contacts, and rheology to understand the formation of rigid clusters. Watch the talk here
