Data for: Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear

This dataset is for the following study: Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear by Sijie Sun, Nan Xue, Stefano Aime, Hyoungsoo Kim, Jizhou Tang, Gareth H. McKinley, Howard A. Stone, and David A. Weitz. In this research, the authors investigate the high-shear-rate behavior of particle suspensions in viscoelastic fluids using a fully immersed parallel plate geometry. They discover an unexpected particle separation within the suspension, leading to the formation of a crystalline layer in the center of the cell. This solid layer disrupts the flow instability and introduces a new single-frequency component to the torque fluctuations, reflecting a dominant velocity pattern in the flow. The findings reveal the complex interplay between particles and the suspending viscoelastic fluid under extreme shear conditions. The SI videos, raw data and code of postprocessing are included
