stability of shear-thickening and shear-thinning fluids in narrow gap between rotating cylinders
the effect of weak shear thickening and shear thinning on the stability of the taylor-couette flow is explored for a carreau-bird fluid in the narrow-gap limit. the galerkin projection method is used to derive a low-order dynamical system from the conservation of mass and momentum equations. in comparison with the newtonian system, the present equations include additional nonlinear coupling in ...
متن کاملShear thickening of cornstarch suspensions
We study the rheology of cornstarch suspensions, a non – Brownian particle system that exhibits discontinuous shear thickening. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the local properties of the flow are obtained by the determination of local velocity profiles and concentrations in a Couette cell. For low rotational rates, we observe shear localization characteristic of yield stress fluids. Wh...
متن کاملEffects of particle softness on shear thickening of microgel suspensions.
A series of microgel particles composed of a polystyrene (PS) core and a thermo-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) shell with different shell thicknesses were investigated to elucidate the effect of microgel softness on its shear thickening behavior. Since the softness of the microgels increases with decreasing temperature through the volume phase transition effect of PNIPAM shell, ...
متن کاملShear thickening and migration in granular suspensions.
We study the emergence of shear thickening in dense suspensions of non-Brownian particles. We combine local velocity and concentration measurements using magnetic resonance imaging with macroscopic rheometry experiments. In steady state, we observe that the material is heterogeneous, and we find that the local rheology presents a continuous transition at low shear rate from a viscous to a shear...
متن کاملGenerality of shear thickening in dense suspensions.
Suspensions are of wide interest and form the basis for many smart fluids. For most suspensions, the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, that is, they shear thin. Few are reported to do the opposite, that is, shear thicken, despite the longstanding expectation that shear thickening is a generic type of suspension behaviour. Here we resolve this apparent contradiction. We demonstrate...
