Abstract
A simple functional representation of the concentration dependence of the low-shear viscosity η of hard sphere suspensions is proposed. The representation, which agrees with published literature at all volume fractions φ, has a hitherto-unremarked transition in its functional form at φ≈0.42≡φt. φt is definitely less than the volume fraction 0.49 of the hard sphere melting transition.
