Abstract

The most frequently encountered emanation of non-Newtonian behavior in fluids is a decrease of the viscosity with increasing rate of strain, i.e. shear thinning. Although less common, the opposite effect, shear thickening or a viscosity increase with strain rate, can also occur in various kinds of fluids (for a recent review, see [1]). Concentrated suspensions constitute the best-known examples of such materials. Other systems that can display the same behavior include some polymer solutions, in particular those containing associative polymers, and surfactant solutions that form worm-like micelles. The present discussion is limited to suspensions.
