Abstract: By detailed Molecular Dynamics we investigate the rheology of granular suspensions driven through a fixed plate channel by a pressure gradient in the suspending fluid. We observe various possible flow states: disordered flow, ordered flow (granular crystallization) and jammed as well as make close connections to experimental results in colloidal suspensions.
