Shear thickening in dilute solutions of wormlike micelles
– A new mechanism is suggested for shear thickening in dilute solutions of wormlike micelles. According to this mechanism, there is an instability above a critical shear rate, γ̇c, by which micelles aggregate to form networks of bundles. We examine the first step of this instability by studying the aggregation of two micelles into a paired bundle. The model predicts that γ̇c is given by the inver...
متن کاملStrip waves in vibrated shear-thickening wormlike micellar solutions.
We present an instability in vertically vibrated dilute wormlike micellar solutions. Above a critical driving acceleration the fluid forms elongated solitary domains of high amplitude waves. We model this instability using a Mathieu equation modified to account for the non-Newtonian character of the fluid. We find that our model successfully reproduces the observed transitions.
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 کاملChaotic dynamics in shear-thickening surfactant solutions
– We report the observation of dynamical behaviour in dilute, aqueous solutions of a surfactant CTAT (cetyl trimethylammonium p-toluenesulphonate), below the overlap concentration c⋆. At these concentrations, CTAT forms cylindrical micelles and shows a pronounced shear thickening transition above a concentration-dependent critical shear rate γ̇c. An analysis of the time-series of the stress rela...
متن کاملModeling Shear Thickening in Dilute Polymer Solutions: Temperature, Concentration, and Molecular Weight Dependencies
The Two Coupled Maxwell Modes (TCMM) Model is applied to give quantitative descriptions of shearthickening behavior, which can be observed under certain conditions for high molecular weight polymers dissolved in low viscosity solvents. The TCMMModel is written in terms of five parameters representing the relaxation time of each mode, the concentration of each mode, and a coupling parameter betw...
