Spatial gradients of the shear rate lead to migration of particles from regions of high to low shear rate in many different types of systems (like granular matter, blood [see figure], and macromolecular solutions). Such shear-gradient induced mass transport leads to banded flow profiles in systems with a yield stress. In the first part of this presentation, the origin of such shear-induced mass fluxes will be discussed, and an explicit expression for the corresponding transport coefficient is derived. The advection-diffusion equation that includes shear-gradient induced mass transport, together with an appropriate equation of motion for the flow velocity, including non-local stresses, are solved numerically [2]. The resulting stability diagram and shear-banded flow profiles will be compared to experiments on hard-sphere colloidal glasses [3]. In the second part of the presentation the response of isotropic-nematic biphasic dispersions of highly charged rod-like colloids (fd-virus particles) will be discussed. Several phases/states are induced, depending on the electric field strength and frequency. In particular, a dynamical state can be induced, where nematic domains persistently melt and re-form, which is attributed to a cyclic association/dissociation of condensed ions [4,5].
