Recent experimental probes of shear banding
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent experimental techniques used to investigate shear banding are reviewed. After recalling the rheological signature of shear-banded flows, we summarize the various tools for measuring locally the microstructure and the velocity field under shear. Local velocity measurements using dynamic light scattering and ultrasound are emphasized. A few results are extracted from current works to illustrate open questions and directions for future research.

Shear banding in soft glassy materials.
Many soft materials, including microgels, dense colloidal emulsions, star polymers, dense packings of multilamellar vesicles, and textured morphologies of liquid crystals, share the basic 'glassy' features of structural disorder and metastability. These in turn give rise to several notable features in the low frequency shear rheology (deformation and flow properties) of these materials: in part...
متن کاملGradient and vorticity banding
Banded structures” of macroscopic dimensions can be induced by simple shear flow in many different types of soft matter systems. Depending on whether these bands extend along the gradient or vorticity direction, the banding transition is referred to as “gradient banding” or “vorticity banding,” respectively. The main features of gradient banding can be understood on the basis of a relatively si...
متن کاملElastic turbulence in shear banding wormlike micelles.
We study the dynamics of the Taylor-Couette flow of shear banding wormlike micelles. We focus on the high shear rate branch of the flow curve and show that for sufficiently high Weissenberg numbers, this branch becomes unstable. This instability is strongly subcritical and is associated with a shear stress jump. We find that this increase of the flow resistance is related to the nucleation of t...
متن کاملTransient evolution of shear-banding wormlike micellar solutions
A series of experiments were performed to further investigate the phenomenon of shear-banding in surfactant solutions. Many surfactant solutions, hrough their unique amphiphilic chemistry, form long wormlike micelle structures which behave like living polymers. These wormlike micelles ave interesting viscoelastic properties and have been the subject of a number of recent studies. These water-ba...
متن کاملPotential “ways of thinking” about the shear-banding phenomenon
Shear-banding is a curious but ubiquitous phenomenon occurring in soft matter. The phenomenological similarities between the shear-banding transition and phase transitions has pushed some researchers to adopt a ‘thermodynamical’ approach, in opposition to the more classical ‘mechanical’ approach to fluid flows. In this heuristic review, we describe why the apparent dichotomy between those appro...
