Viscoelastic Taylor-Couette instability of shear banded flow.
We study numerically shear banded flow in planar and curved Couette geometries. Our aim is to capture two recent observations in shear banding systems of roll cells stacked in the vorticity direction, associated with an undulation of the interface between the bands. Depending on the degree of cell curvature and on the material's constitutive properties, we find either (i) an instability of the ...
متن کاملNonaxisymmetric instability of shear-banded Taylor-Couette flow.
Recent experiments show that shear-banded flows of semidilute wormlike micelles in Taylor-Couette geometry exhibit a flow instability in the form of Taylor-like vortices. Here we perform the nonaxisymmetric linear stability analysis of the diffusive Johnson-Segalman model of shear banding and show that the nature of this instability depends on the applied shear rate. For the experimentally rele...
متن کاملSimulation of Viscoelastic Fluids: Couette–Taylor Flow
We present a numerical scheme for viscoelastic flow based on a second-order central differencing method recently introduced in the context of incompressible newtonian flow; the incompressibility constraint is treated with the projection method. The result is a simple and efficient scheme that is readily adaptable to a wide class of differential constitutive equations and flow geometries. We imp...
متن کاملMHD instability in cylindric Taylor-Couette flow
The linear marginal instability of an axisymmetric MHD Taylor-Couette flow of infinite vertical extension is considered. For flows with a resting outer cylinder there is a well-known characteristic Reynolds number even without magnetic field but for sufficiently weak magnetic fields there are solutions with smaller Reynolds numbers so that a characteristic minimum exists. The minimum only exist...
متن کاملMagnetorotational-type instability in Couette-Taylor flow of a viscoelastic polymer liquid.
We describe an instability of viscoelastic Couette-Taylor flow that is directly analogous to the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in astrophysical magnetohydrodynamics, with polymer molecules playing the role of magnetic field lines. By determining the conditions required for the onset of instability and the properties of the preferred modes, we distinguish it from the centrifugal and elasti...
