Rigid clusters in shear-thickening suspensions: A nonequilibrium critical transition

The onset and growth of rigid clusters in a two-dimensional (2D) suspension in shear flow are studied by numerical simulations. The suspension exhibits the lubricated-to-frictional rheology transition, but the key results here are for stresses above the levels that cause extreme shear thickening. At...
