| contents | Discontinuous Shear Thickening (DST) fluids exhibit unique instability properties in a wide range of flow conditions. We present numerical simulations of a scalar model for DST fluids in a planar simple shear using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach. The model reproduces the spatially homogeneous instability mechanism based on the competition between the inertial and microstructural timescales, with good congruence to the theoretical predictions. Spatial inhomogeneities arising from a stress-splitting instability are rationalised within the context of local components of the microstructure evolution. Using this effect, the addition of non-locality in the model is found to produce an alternative mechanism of temporal instabilities, driven by the inhomogeneous pattern formation. The reported arrangement of the microstructure is generally in agreement with the experimental data on gradient pattern formation in DST. Simulations in a parameter space representative of realistic DST materials resulted in aperiodic oscillations in measured shear rate and stress, driven by formation of gap-spanning frictional structures. |
