Degassing cascades in a shear-thinning viscoelastic fluid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 cascades. Each cascade is followed by a continuous degassing, lasting for several seconds, corresponding to an open channel crossing the fluid layer. The periodicity between two cascades does not depend on the injected flow rate. Inside one cascade, the properties of the overpressure signal associated with the successive bubbles vary continuously. The pressure threshold above which the fluid starts flowing, fluid deformation and pressure drop due to degassing through the thin fluid layer can be simply described by a Maxwell model.

Numerical Study of Unsteady non-Newtonian Viscoelastic Flow in a 2D “T” Junction
A computational fluid dynamics simulation study has been carried out for unsteady laminar flow in a planar 2D T-junction, using non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluids with characteristics similar to those of blood. In the large blood vessels, blood can be modelled as a Newtonian fluid, however in smaller vessels it exhibits non-Newtonian behaviour, showing a shear-thinning viscosity and, additionall...
متن کاملFlow induced by a sphere settling in an aging yield-stress fluid
We have studied the flow induced by a macroscopic spherical particle settling in a Laponite suspension that exhibits a yield-stress, thixotropy and shear-thinning. We show that the fluid thixotropy (or aging) induces an increase with time of both the apparent yield stress and shear-thinning properties but also a breaking of the flow fore-aft symmetry predicted in Hershel-Bulkley fluids (yield-s...
متن کاملDirect Simulation of the Motion of Solid Particles in Couette and Poiseuille Flows of Viscoelastic Fluids
This paper reports the results of direct numerical simulation of the motion of a two-dimensional circular cylinder in Couette flow and in Poiseuille flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid. Both neutrally buoyant and nonneutrally buoyant cylinders are considered. The cylinder's motion and the mechanisms which cause the cylinders to migrate are studied. The stable equilibrium position of neutrally buoyant pa...
متن کاملDynamics of particle migration in channel flow of viscoelastic fluids
The migration of a sphere in the pressure-driven channel flow of a viscoelastic fluid is studied numerically. The effects of inertia, elasticity, shear-thinning viscosity, secondary flows and the blockage ratio are considered by conducting fully resolved direct numerical simulations over a wide range of parameters. In a Newtonian fluid in the presence of inertial effects, the particle moves awa...
