Flow of a wormlike micelle solution past a falling sphere
With the increasing use of wormlike micelle solutions as rheological modifiers in many consumer products, the prediction of the behavior of these fluids has grown increasingly important in recent years. In this paper, the flow past a sphere falling at its terminal velocity through a column of a wormlike micelle solution is experimentally studied. The working fluid is an entangled wormlike micel...
متن کاملThe Faraday instability in wormlike micelle solutions
The behaviour of semi-dilute wormlike micelle solutions under vertical vibrations is investigated using classical measurements of the Faraday instability threshold along with two new experiments based on particle imaging velocimetry and birefringence. We provide evidence for the presence of oscillations of the critical acceleration and wave number with the vibration frequency, which are linked ...
متن کاملStrong Flows of Viscoelastic Wormlike Micelle Solutions
The unique rheological properties of viscoelastic wormlike micelle solutions have led to their broad use as rheological modifiers in consumer products such as paints, detergents, pharmaceuticals, lubricants and emulsifiers. In addition, micelle solutions have also become increasingly important in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications including agrochemical spraying, inkjet prin...
متن کاملA phenomenological model for shear-thickening in wormlike micelle solutions
– We present a simple phenomenological model to describe shear-thickening in a wormlike micelle solution. The solution is assumed to undergo a reaction above a critical shear stress, to form a gel-like phase. There is no flow within this “gel” phase, and it is insoluble in the solution. The amount of gel in the system is determined by a competition between a stress-dependent reaction rate, whic...
متن کاملBroad bandwidth optical and mechanical rheometry of wormlike micelle solutions.
We characterize the linear viscoelastic shear properties of an aqueous wormlike micellar solution using diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) based tracer microrheology as well as various mechanical techniques such as rotational rheometry, oscillatory squeeze flow, and torsional resonance oscillation covering the frequency range from 10(-1) to 10(6) rad/s. Since DWS as well as mechanical oscillator...
