Non-colloidal suspensions of spheres undergoing oscillatory shearing flows demonstrate a range of unique, and even surprising, behaviors. Examples from rheological experiments include the existence of a non-monotonic dependence of the complex viscosity upon the strain amplitude and the observation of two distinct scales for the development of th...

The goal of this lecture is to inform the audience of the types of challenges that arise, and open problems that remain, in a specific class of biological fluids: mucus. Mucus is prevalent in biology and its rheology is fundamental for: locomotion (e.g., of snails); flow transport (e.g., of mucosal layers in mammalian lungs); and controlling dif...

Biologically active fluids, such as bacterial suspensions orcytoskeletal extracts with molecular motors and ATP, are a source ofintriguing problems in the physics of complex fluids. They are composedof particles that with internal machinery that take up energy from theirsurroundings and actively move the surrounding medium. My talk willreview re...

Aqueous foams, like other macroscopically divided materials, displayintriguing rheological properties. The bubble-scale structure allows forthe existence of frozen stresses within the material which can notspontaneously relax by thermal activation. Upon shearing, the systemundergoes a series of plastic events which irreversibly modify thisintern...

The situation of yield stress fluids in physics is very original: they borrow their properties partly to solids and partly to liquids, both material types which have strikingly different structures, and it is assumed that they can undergo a simple transition from one state to the other at a critical shear stress. This also implies difficulties f...
