This is a comment on the recent letter by Wang and Brady on "Constant stress and pressure rheology of colloidal suspensions", Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 158301 (2015).
Many colloidal systems display very non-Newtonian and solid-like behaviour when concentrated, a striking feature being the apparition of a yield stress. After recalling some basics about the interactions between colloidal particles, I…

We study the interplay of activity, order and flow through a set of coarse-grained equations governing the hydrodynamic velocity, concentration and stress fields in a suspension of active, energy-dissipating particles. We make several…
A Comment on the Letter by Atsushi Ikeda and Kunimasa Miyazaki, [arXiv:1003.5472v2, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 255704 (2010)].
The rheology of suspensions of Brownian, or colloidal, particles (diameter $d \lesssim 1$ $\mu$m) differs markedly from that of larger grains ($d \gtrsim 50$ $\mu$m). Each of these two regimes has been separately studied, but the flow of…
Using mode-coupling theory, we derive a constitutive equation for the nonlinear rheology of dense colloidal suspensions under arbitrary time-dependent homogeneous flow. Generalizing previous results for simple shear, this allows the full…
Colloidal dispersions are commonly encountered in everyday life and represent an important class of complex fluid. Of particular significance for many commercial products and industrial processes is the ability to control and manipulate the…

Reply to the Comment [arXiv:1609.04476] on a recent work in PRL [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 036601 (2016), arXiv:1511.02994v2].
Dense suspensions of particles are relevant to many applications and are a key platform for developing a fundamental physics of out-of-equilibrium systems. They present challenging flow properties, apparently turning from liquid to solid…

We present some aspects of the rheology of field-responsive suspensions, a class of field-responsive liquid matter systems possessing the ability to undergo significant changes in their strength upon application of an external field. Both…
