Capillary rise between elastic sheets
When a paintbrush is dipped into a pot of paint and pulled out, surface tension forces cause the individual hairs in the brush to coalesce even as the brush becomes impregnated with paint. We study a simple model of this elastocapillary interaction in the context of the surface-tension-driven vertical rise of a liquid between two long flexible hydrophilic sheets that are held a small distance a...
متن کاملElastic environment of the capillary bed.
To determine the degree to which the capillary blood vessels in vivo are supported by the elasticity of the surrounding tissue, a study was made of the elastic properties of the mesentery of the rabbit. A torsion test was made on a circular membrane of the avascular region of the mesentery, by applying a graded static torque and measuring the resulting deformation. The mesentery was found to ha...
متن کاملCapillary instability on an elastic helix.
We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the capillary instability of an elastic helical thread bound within a fluid. The influence of the thread's elastic energy on the classic Rayleigh-Plateau instability is elucidated. The most unstable wavelength can be substantially increased by the influence of the helical coil. The relation between our system and...
متن کاملResponse and Recovery Times of Elastic and Viscoelastic Capsules in Shear Flow
Amid the recent interest in the role of membrane viscosity in the deformation of a fluid-filled capsule, we consider the role of various capsule properties (shear elasticity, membrane bending stiffness and viscosity) in determining the response and recovery times of a spherical capsule in shear flow. These times are determined by fitting exponential functions to results for the Taylor deformati...
متن کاملPurely elastic flow asymmetries.
Using a numerical technique we demonstrate that the flow of the simplest differential viscoelastic fluid model (i.e., the upper-convected Maxwell model) goes through a bifurcation to a steady asymmetric state when flowing in a perfectly symmetric "cross-slot" geometry. We show that this asymmetry is purely elastic in nature and that the effect of inertia is a stabilizing one. Our results are in...
