We observe a novel type of shear banding in the rheology of thixotropicyield-stress fluids that is due to the coupling of both non-locality andthixotropy. The latter is known to lead to shear banding even in homogeneousstress fields, but the bands observed in the presence of non-local effectsappear different as the shear rate varies continuously over the shear band.Here, we introduce a simple non-local model for the shear banding (NL-SB), andwe implement it for the analysis of micron-scale rheo-MRI velocimetrymeasurements of a milk microgel suspension in a cone-and-plate geometry. Theproposed NL-SB model accurately quantifies the cooperativity length and yieldsvalues in the order of the aggregate size in the microgel.
