The first part of this study demonstrated that magnetorheological fluid undergoes squeeze-strengthening in pure squeeze conditions that promote filtration. This behavior, however, is greatly reduced when shear deformation is superimposed onto the squeezing motion. In order to understand this phenomenon and achieve high yield stresses at high rotational velocities, the second part of this study conducts a thorough experimental characterization of magnetorheological fluid behavior under combined squeeze–shear. After demonstrating that a von Mises yield criterion is applicable to magnetorheological fluid, this criterion is included in the Péclet number, derived in the first part of this study, and used to predict filtration in magnetorheological fluid submitted to simultaneous squeeze–shear. Results show squeeze-strengthening is well predicted in squeeze-dominant flows but gradually delayed in shear-dominant flows. In such conditions, a better prediction is provided by a modified Péclet number, which also takes into account the evolution of the magnetorheological fluid microstructure through the squeeze-to-shear-rate ratio. This ratio is also found to dictate the linear relation between shear stress and compressive force when squeeze-strengthening is observed. Based on the provided understanding, high yield stresses (>1000 kPa) are obtained at high rotational velocities (200 r/min) by maximizing the filtration phenomenon in order to achieve squeeze-strengthening at high compression velocities (5 mm/s).

This study presents an approximate analytical model, which can be useful for the prediction and requirement of vertical barrier efficiencies. A previous study by the authors has indicated that a single dimensionless parameter determines the performance of a vertical barrier. This parameter is termed the barrier Peclet number. The evaluation of barrier performance concerns operation under steady state conditions, as well as estimates of unsteady state conditions and calculation of the time period requires arriving at steady state conditions. This study refers to high values of the barrier Peclet number. The modeling approach refers to the development of several types of boundary layers. Comparisons were made between simulation results of the present study and some analytical and numerical results. These comparisons indicate that the models developed in this study could be useful in the design and prediction of the performance of vertical barriers operating under conditions of high values of the barrier Peclet number.
