Shear-banding predicted by a constitutive model with a structural parameter in cylindrical Couette flows

Dense suspensions of non-Brownian particles may partially behave as thixotropic yield stress fluids. We study the flow of such fluids between two concentric cylinders using a phenomenological structural kinetics model. The structural kinetics approach balances the simplicity of phenomenological cont...
