Abstract
We employ particle-level simulations to show that body forces, such as gravity or centrifugal forces, can significantly influence the structure and rheology of ER and MR suspensions even when the magnitude of the body force acting on a particle is small compared to the field-induced force. We also report an experimental investigation of the effects of body forces on the structure of ER suspensions. Experimental results agree qualitatively with predictions.
