Numerical simulations of the rheology of suspensions of rigid spheres at low volume fraction in a viscoelastic fluid under shear

•Simulations of the bulk stress of a dilute suspension of spheres in Boger fluids.•Observed shear-thickening in all the viscometric functions.•Resolved a discrepancy in the theory for the second normal stress difference.•Investigated the effect of hydrodynamic interactions on the suspension rheology...
