Non-Newtonian Viscosity of Complex-Plasma Fluids

Abstract: Investigations of shear flows in three-dimensional complex-plasma fluids produced in a dc discharge were carried out. The shear was induced either by an inhomogeneous gas flow or by a laser beam. The viscosity of complex plasmas was measured over a broad range of shear rates, up to the hydrodynamic limit when the discreteness becomes important. Analysis of the measurements reveals non-Newtonian behavior of complex plasmas accompanied by substantial shear thinning.

“…To the best of our knowledge, all previous dusty plasma experimenters who have reported values for the viscosity used a hydrodynamic method [47,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61], except for Feng et al [48,51] who used the GK method with an input of experimental data. While Feng et al [51] compared their experimental GK result to an earlier hydrodynamic result [54], that comparison did not test the applicability of the GK method as the conditions in the two experiments were different.…”

“…Figure 8a shows the distribution of dust particles with a radius of 9 μm in a discharge driven at 32 V, at 27 Pa. When particles of 3.4 μm radius are released in the midplane, they form lanes [3], drifting toward the center. Figure 8b shows the radial force acting www.cpp-journal.org on the large and small grains.…”
