| contents | We present particle-resolved simulations of dense frictional suspensions undergoing the viscous-inertial transition using pressure-imposed rheology. By varying the fluid viscosity, shear rate, and granular pressure, we find that the transition is independent of the packing fraction and occurs at a Stokes number of 10. Our results reveal that the shear stress exhibits a slower transition than the particle pressure, attributed to the combined effect of tangential contact and lubrication forces, as the frictional particles concurrently shift from rolling to sliding contacts. This shift is controlled by the Stokes number but also by the distance from jamming. Additionally, we examine the role of increasing inter-particle friction on the viscous-inertial transition. |
