Uncovering Instabilities in the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of a Shear-Thickening Cornstarch Suspension
Recent theories predict that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) involves an instability, the nature of which remains elusive. Here, we explore unsteady dynamics in a dense cornstarch suspension by coupling long rheological measurements under constant shear stresses to ultrasound imaging. We demons...
