Stagnation point flow of wormlike micellar solutions in a microfluidic cross-slot device: effects of surfactant concentration and ionic environment.
We employ the techniques of microparticle image velocimetry and full-field birefringence microscopy combined with mechanical measurements of the pressure drop to perform a detailed characterization of the extensional rheology and elastic flow instabilities observed for a range of wormlike micellar solutions flowing through a microfluidic cross-slot device. As the flow rate through the device is...
متن کاملTransient evolution of shear-banding wormlike micellar solutions
A series of experiments were performed to further investigate the phenomenon of shear-banding in surfactant solutions. Many surfactant solutions, hrough their unique amphiphilic chemistry, form long wormlike micelle structures which behave like living polymers. These wormlike micelles ave interesting viscoelastic properties and have been the subject of a number of recent studies. These water-ba...
متن کاملSlippage and migration in Taylor–Couette flow of a model for dilute wormlike micellar solutions
9 We explore the rheological predictions of a constitutive model developed for dilute or semi-dilute worm-like micellar solutions in an axisymmetric Taylor–Couette flow. This study is a natural continuation of earlier work on rectilinear shear flows. The model, based on a bead-spring microstructure with non-affine motion, reproduces the pronounced plateau in the stress–strain-rate flow curve th...
متن کاملNonlocal effects in flows of wormlike micellar solutions.
The flow curve of wormlike micelles usually exhibits a stress plateau sigma* separating high and low viscosity branches, leading to shear-banded flows. We study the flow of semidilute wormlike micellar systems in a confined geometry: a straight microchannel. We characterize their local rheology thanks to particle image velocimetry. We show that flow curves cannot be described by a simple consti...
متن کاملMicrostructure and rheology of a flow-induced structured phase in wormlike micellar solutions.
Surfactant molecules can self-assemble into various morphologies under proper combinations of ionic strength, temperature, and flow conditions. At equilibrium, wormlike micelles can transition from entangled to branched and multiconnected structures with increasing salt concentration. Under certain flow conditions, micellar structural transitions follow different trajectories. In this work, we ...
