The main observable is the shear viscosity, η( ̇γ,Π), expressed as a function of the shear rate ̇γ and adimensional pressure ̄Π = Πa3/(kBT), where Π is the pressure, kBT the thermal energy, and a the average particle diameter. The central conclusion is the discovery of a “universal viscosity divergence” %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01310551/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01310551/file/1602.04796.pdf %L hal-01310551 %U https://hal.science/hal-01310551 %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
