Extensional Relaxation Times of Dilute, Aqueous Polymer Solutions
We show that visualization and analysis of capillary-driven thinning and pinch-off dynamics of the columnar neck in an asymmetric liquid bridge created by dripping-onto-substrate can be used for characterizing the extensional rheology of complex fluids. Using a particular example of dilute, aqueous PEO solutions, we show the measurement of both the extensional relaxation time and extensional vi...
متن کاملRelaxation of dilute polymer solutions following extensional flow 1
The relaxation of dilute polymer solutions following stretch in uniaxial extensional flow is investigated via Brownian dynamic simulations of a flexible freely-draining bead-rod chain. The bead-rod chain simulations are compared to Brownian dynamic simulations of a FENE dumbbell and numerical calculations of a FENE-PM chain. A universal relaxation curve for the stress decay from steady-state is...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional turbulence of dilute polymer solutions.
We investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of polymer additives on two-dimensional turbulence by means of a viscoelastic model. We provide compelling evidence that, at vanishingly small concentrations, such that the polymers are passively transported, the probability distribution of polymer elongation has a power law tail: Its slope is related to the statistics of finite-time Lyapu...
متن کاملTheory of semi-dilute polymer solutions
2014 Some properties of semi-dilute poor and good solvent polymer solutions are examined within the framework of the field-theoretic formulism. The uncontrollable polydispersivity inherent in the field-theoretic formulism is shown to produce no errors if the quantity under investigation is molecular weight independent. A renormalization group cross-over calculation correct to order 03B5 is perf...
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...
