Electrophoresis of Colloidal Particles in Shear-Thinning Polymer Solutions
This thesis includes a theoretical and experimental analysis of electrophoresis of colloidal particles in non-Newtonian polymeric fluids with shear-rate dependent viscosities. A model is derived that predicts field dependent electrophoretic mobility in shear-thinning Carreau fluids. The latter effect is experimentally investigated for submicron particles in solutions of linear polyacrylamide us...
متن کاملThe decay of grid turbulence in polymer and surfactant solutions
The decay of turbulence behind a towed grid is studied in polymer and surfactant solutions with the use of particle image velocimetry. Unlike in water, the turbulent energy components show marked anisotropy, and decay more slowly. These differences are stronger for initial periods of time, but persist through the entire period of decay. The major difference between the polymer and surfactant so...
متن کاملTurbulence of polymer solutions.
We investigate high-Reynolds-number turbulence in dilute polymer solutions. We show the existence of a critical value of the Reynolds number, which separates two different regimes. In the first regime, below the transition, the influence of the polymer molecules on the flow is negligible, so they can be regarded as passively embedded in the flow. This case admits a detailed investigation of the...
متن کاملShear turbulence on a sparse spectral grid.
We simulate turbulence in a plane Couette geometry by a spectral method intermediate between full resolution and the complete elimination of small modes common in large eddy simulations. The wave number grid is sparse in spanwise and downstream direction, with a total number of modes proportional to Re(3/4) lnRe. At a Reynolds number of 2000 we could suppress more than 80% of the modes and stil...
متن کاملSpectra of turbulence in dilute polymer solutions
Turbulence in dilute polymer solutions when polymers are strongly stretched by the flow is investigated. We establish power-law spectra of velocity, that are not associated with a flux of a conserved quantity, in two cases. First, such spectrum is formed in the elastic waves range of high Reynolds number turbulence of polymer solutions above the coil–stretch transition. Second, such spectrum is...
