Network theory analysis of the global topology of a contact force
network has been applied to a simulated shear thickening 2D
fluid. The geodesic index and void parameter are introduced as
new computational metrics and elucidate the relationships
between global particle interactions and connectivity with bulk
suspension behavior.
