Elliptic flow measurements at RHIC suggest that quark gluon plasma flows with very little viscosity compared to weak coupling expectations, challenging theorists to explain why this fluid is so nearly ``perfect''. It is therefore vital to…
There is a well-established relation between the spatial asymmetry in the initial stage of a heavy-ion collision and the final momentum anisotropy, which allows for a separation of effects from initial conditions vs. later evolution and has…
A very famous result of gauge/gravity duality is the universality of the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density in every field theory holographically dual to classical, two-derivative (Einstein) gravity. We present a way to obtain…
The approximate power-law dependence of the apparent viscosity of liquids on shear rate is often argued to arise from a distribution of energy barriers. However, recent work on the Prandtl model, which consists of a point mass being dragged…
Dense suspensions are non-Newtonian fluids which exhibit strong shear thickening and normal stress differences. Using numerical simulation of extensional and shear flows, we investigate how rheological properties are determined by the…
The nonlinear rheological properties of dense colloidal suspensions under steady shear are discussed within a first principles approach. It starts from the Smoluchowski equation of interacting Brownian particles in a given shear flow,…
This paper investigates the relationship between extensional and shear viscosity of low-viscosity power-law fluids. We show the first experimental evidence of the conditions satisfying the same power exponents for extensional and shear…
We report on recent results from VISH2+1, a code that solves the relativistic Israel-Stewart equations for causal viscous hydrodynamics for heavy-ion collisions with longitudinal boost invariance. We find that even ``minimal'' shear…
A previously proposed [X. Shan and H. Chen, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 47}, 1815, (1993)] lattice Boltzmann model for simulating fluids with multiple components and interparticle forces is described in detail. Macroscopic equations governing the…
The rheological properties for dilute and moderately dense granular binary mixtures of smooth, inelastic hard disks/spheres under uniform shear flow in steady state conditions are reported. The results are based on the Enskog kinetic…
We elucidate a qualitative difference in rheology between fragile and network-forming strong liquids. In a flow field, the structural configuration is distorted in accordance with the flow symmetry, whereas the form of the interaction…
A linear stability analysis of the hydrodynamic equations with respect to the homogeneous cooling state is performed to study the conditions for stability of a suspension of solid particles immersed in a viscous gas. The dissipation in such…
We analyze the main features of granular shear flow through experimental measurements in a Couette geometry and a comparison to a locally Newtonian, continuum model of granular flow. The model is based on earlier hydrodynamic models,…
We do shear-driven simulations of a simple model of non-Brownian particles in two dimensions. By examining the velocity distribution at different densities and shear rates we find strong evidence for the existence of two different…
This paper explores the phenomena of enhanced dissipation and Taylor dispersion in solutions to the passive scalar equations subject to time-dependent shear flows. The hypocoercivity functionals with carefully tuned time weights are applied…
Despite a long record of intense efforts, the basic mechanisms by which dissipation emerges from the microscopic dynamics of a relativistic fluid still elude a complete understanding. In particular, no unique pathway from kinetic theory to…
We calculate two transport coefficients -- the shear viscosity over entropy ratio $\eta/s$ and the ratio of the electric conductivity to the temperature $\sigma_0/T$ -- of strongly interacting quark matter within the extended $N_f=3$…
The shock induced mixing of two gases separated by a perturbed interface is investigated through Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). In a simulation, physical dissipation of the velocity field and species mass…
Using the standard Vicsek model, I show how the macroscopic transport equations can be systematically derived from microscopic collision rules. The approach starts with the exact evolution equation for the N-particle probability…
We derive a novel and rigorous correction to the classical Reynolds lubrication approximation for fluids with viscosity depending upon the pressure. Our analysis shows that the pressure dependence of viscosity leads to additional nonlinear…
