Key Points

This research aims to understand how solid intruders behave when submerging in concentrated cornstarch suspensions.
Utilized ultra-fast magnetic resonance imaging to observe sinking dynamics.
Analyzed the behavior of intruders in opaque cornstarch suspensions.
Focused on localized and transient dynamics that are hard to measure otherwise.
Identified key patterns in the sinking process that vary with different intruder shapes.
Found that the suspension's properties significantly influence sinking speed and stability.
Revealed that localized dynamics are critical to understanding the overall behavior of intruders.

Abstract

The sinking of intruders in concentrated cornstarch suspensions is governed by localized, transient dynamics that are difficult to access experimentally because of the opacity of the material. Here, we use...
