Abstract
Restricted sliding or rotational motion of colloidal particles plays a key role in the emergence of discontinuous shear thickening (DST). From viscometric functions to the number of contacting neighbors under an applied deformation, a hindrance to sliding motion significantly changes the behavior of dense suspensions on all scales. In this work, implicitly by using a modified hydrodynamic model based on Stokesian dynamics and explicitly by solving for the hydrodynamics of nonsmooth colloids, we show that lubrication forces that arise from surface asperities effectively provide such constraints to tangential particle motion. A transition from continuous shear thickening to DST is observed as the surface roughness of the particles is systematically increased. In this hydrodynamic model for DST, normal stress differences remain negative in the shear-thickened state (STS). Study of the spatial stress distribution indicates the onset of DST to be a highly localized event; however, particle self-diffusivity and the microstructural network suggest a rather uniform structure in the STS.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
