We provide a mathematical analysis of the effective viscosity of suspensions of spherical particles in a Stokes flow, at low solid volume fraction $\phi$. Our objective is to go beyond the Einstein's approximation…
We present a mathematical proof of Einstein's formula for the effective viscosity of a dilute suspension of rigid neutrally--buoyant spheres when the spheres are centered on the vertices of a cubic lattice. We keep the size of the container…
We investigate the sedimentation of identical inertialess spherical particles in a Stokes fluid in the limit of many small particles. It is known that the presence of the particles leads to an increase of the effective viscosity of the…
This paper is a follow-up of article [6], on the derivation of accurate effective models for viscous dilute suspensions. The goal is to identify an effective Stokes equation providing a $o(\lambda^2)$ approximation of the exact…
We provide a rigorous derivation of Einstein's formula for the effective viscosity of dilute suspensions of $n$ rigid balls, $n \gg 1$, set in a volume of size $1$. So far, most justifications were carried under a strong assumption on the…
We compute the first order correction of the effective viscosity for a suspension containing solid particles with arbitrary shapes. We rewrite the computation as an homogenization problem for the Stokes equations in a perforated domain.…
This review is devoted to the large-scale rheology of suspensions of rigid particles in Stokes fluid. After describing recent results on the definition of the effective viscosity of such systems in the framework of homogenization theory, we…
This work is devoted to the definition and the analysis of the effective viscosity associated with a random suspension of small rigid particles in a steady Stokes fluid. While previous works on the topic have been conveniently assuming that…
We give the first correction to the suspension viscosity due to fluid elasticity for a dilute suspension of spheres in a viscoelastic medium. Our perturbation theory is valid to $O(\phi\mathrm{Wi}^2)$ in the Weissenberg number…
Suspensions of self-propelled particles are studied in the framework of two-dimensional (2D) Stokesean hydrodynamics. A formula is obtained for the effective viscosity of such suspensions in the limit of small concentrations. This formula…
We propose an improved effective-medium theory to obtain the concentration dependence of the viscosity of particle suspensions at arbitrary volume fractions. Our methodology can be applied, in principle, to any particle shape as long as the…
We provide a rigorous derivation of an effective rheology for dilute viscous suspensions of self-propelled particles. We derive at the limit an effective Stokes system with two additional terms. The first term corresponds to an effective…
Consider a colloidal suspension of rigid particles in a steady Stokes flow. In a celebrated work, Einstein argued that in the regime of dilute particles the system behaves at leading order like a Stokes fluid with some explicit effective…
In his PhD thesis, Einstein derived an explicit first-order expansion for the effective viscosity of a Stokes fluid with a suspension of small rigid particles at low density. His formal derivation relied on two implicit assumptions: (i)…
Starting with an expression, due originally to Einstein, for the shear viscosity \textit{$\eta $}(\textit{$\delta \phi $}) of a liquid having a small fraction \textit{$\delta \phi $}by volume of solid particulate matter suspended in it at…
This paper is dedicated to the effective viscosity of suspensions without inertia, at low solid volume fraction $\phi$. The goal is to derive rigorously a $o(\phi^2)$ formula for the effective viscosity. In previous works, such formula was…
This paper seeks to carry out the rigorous homogenization of a particulate flow consisting of a non-dilute suspension of a viscous Newtonian fluid with magnetizable particles. The fluid is assumed to be described by the Stokes flow, while…
When particulate suspensions are sheared, perturbations in the shear flows around the rigid particles increase the local energy dissipation, so that the viscosity of the suspension is effectively higher than that of the solvent. For bulk…
Suspension of particles in a fluid solvent are ubiquitous in nature, for example, water mixed with sugar or bacteria self-propelling through mucus. Particles create local flow perturbations that can modify drastically the effective…
We consider suspensions of deformable particles in a Newtonian fluid by means of fully Eulerian numerical simulations with a one-continuum formulation. We study the rheology of the visco-elastic suspension in plane Couette flow in the limit…
