Description
Shear thickening fluids are liquids that stiffen as the applied stress increases. If many of these types of fluids follow a monotonic rheological curve, some experimental and numerical studies suggest that certain fluids, like cornstarch, may exhibit a non-monotonic, S-shaped rheology. In this work, we experimentally and numerically study the implications of such rheology for the simple Poiseuille flow configuration.
