Rod-climbing effect in Newtonian fluids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
When a rotating rod is brought into a polymer melt or concentrated polymer solution, the meniscus climbs the rod. This spectacular rod climbing is due to the normal stresses present in the polymer fluid and is thus a purely non-Newtonian effect. A similar rod climbing of an interface between two fluids has therefore been taken as a signature that one of the fluids exhibits normal stress effects. We show here, however, that the effect can occur with simple Newtonian fluids: it occurs when a Taylor-Couette instability happens in the less viscous of the two liquids but not in the more viscous one.

Rapid mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a three-dimensional micro-mixer using non-uniform magnetic field
The mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a magnetic micro-mixer was studied numerically using ferrofluid. The mixing process was performed in a three-dimensional steady-state micro-mixer. A magnetic source was mounted at the entrance of the micro-channel to oscillate the magnetic particles. The effects of electric current, inlet velocity, size of magnetic particles, and non-Newtonia...
متن کاملExistence, Uniqueness, and Quasilinearization Results for Nonlinear Differential Equations Arising in Viscoelastic Fluid Flow
Because of their various applications during the past several years, generalizations of the Navier-Stokes model to highly nonlinear constitutive laws have been proposed and studied (see [4, 5, 7]). Several different models have been introduced to explain such nonstandard features, as normal stress effect, rod climbing, shear thinning, and shear thickening. Among the differential-typemodels, Old...
متن کاملFinite-dimensional Description of Non-newtonian Vortex Flows
The application of nite-dimensional dynamical systems theory to non-Newtonian vortex ow indicates the presence of complex temporal dynamics that is attributed to shear thinning and normal stress (giving rise to the so-called Weissenberg rod climbing phenomenon). These aspects are examined for Rayleigh-Benard thermal convection and Taylor-Couette rotational ow, in an attempt to elucidate on the ...
متن کاملWhite-metzner Models for Rod Climbing in A1
Measurements of rod climbing in A1 give rise to an apparent linear relation between the height rise h and the angular velocity Ω of the rod. We use a White-Metzner model to fit the data and we find that the height rise on the rod deviates from the quadratic dependence on the angular velocity when the viscosity or relaxation time vary with shear rate. When both the relaxation time and the viscos...
متن کاملDetermination of Thermo-physical Properties of Non-Newtonian Fluids Using a Coaxial Cylindrical Cell
In this study the thermal conductivity and the volumetric heat capacity of non-Newtonian fluids are investigated. These fluids find many applications in chemical, medical and food industries. They mostly have viscoelastic behavior and generally differ from Newtonian fluids. Two non-Newtonian fluids, solutions of xanthan and carboxy methyl cellulose in water with various concentrations have bee...
