Degassing cascades in a shear-thinning viscoelastic fluid.
We report the experimental study of the degassing dynamics through a thin layer of shear-thinning viscoelastic fluid when a constant air flow is imposed at its bottom. The fluid is an aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium salicylate (NaSal). Over a large range of parameters, the air is periodically released through a series of successive bubbles, hereafter named c...
متن کاملA Shear-thinning Viscoelastic Fluid Model for Describing the Flow of Blood
progress by the flow characteristics of blood [10, 13]. The relevance of computational simulations in the development of cardiovascular A model is developed for the flow of blood, within a thermodynamic devices, in particular blood pumps, has been highlighted in a recent framework that takes cognizance of the fact that viscoelastic fluids article [3], and there is a need for powerful, yet simpl...
متن کاملCapillarity driven spreading of circular drops of shear-thinning fluid
We investigate the spreading of thin, circular liquid drops of powerlaw rheology. We derive the equation of motion using the thin film approximation, construct source-type similarity solutions and compute the spreading rate, aparent contact angles and height profiles. In contrast with the spreading of newtonian liquids, the contact line paradox does not arise for shear thinning fluids. In this ...
متن کاملShear thinning near the critical point of xenon.
We measured shear thinning, a viscosity decrease ordinarily associated with complex liquids, near the critical point of xenon. The data span a wide range of reduced shear rate: 10(-3)<gamma tau<700 , where gamma tau is the shear rate scaled by the relaxation time tau of critical fluctuations. The measurements had a temperature resolution of 0.01 mK and were conducted in microgravity aboard the ...
متن کاملViscoelastic properties of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a self-similar, shear-thinning worm.
Undulatory motion is common to many creatures across many scales, from sperm to snakes. These organisms must push off against their external environment, such as a viscous medium, grains of sand, or a high-friction surface; additionally they must work to bend their own body. A full understanding of undulatory motion, and locomotion in general, requires the characterization of the material prope...
