Particle level simulations in magnetorheological suspensions

The rheology of dense suspensions is described in the dual views of the volume-based and the pressure-based approach. Based on this, the influences of cohesion and friction of the particles on the rheology of non-magnetic and magnetic suspensions are considered. A comprehensive framework for particle level simulations of dense magnetic suspensions is presented and used for rheological analysis. The validity of stress additivity for magnetorheological suspensions in the presence of contact forces is shown.
