چکیده
Deformation and breakup of a viscous drop in a Bingham liquid is investigated numerically with a volume-of-fluid scheme. Initially, a spherical drop is placed between two moving parallel plates. For our parameters, the matrix liquid has yielded. The competing effects driving the motion are the shear and interfacial tension. When interfacial tension effects dominate, the drop evolves to a steady shape which is elongated compared with the case when the outer liquid is Newtonian. Prior to breakup, stress levels are highest at the ends of the elongated drop. When shearing effects dominate, the drop breaks up, again with features that are elongated compared with the Newtonian counterpart. After the initial breakup, the daughter drops assume steady shapes. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

We give a compact non-technical presentation of two basic principles for reducing the description of nonequilibrium systems based on the quasi-equilibrium approximation. These two principles are: construction of invariant manifolds for the dissipative microscopic dynamics, and coarse-graining for the entropy-conserving microscopic dynamics. Two new results are presented: first, an application o...

The relative viscosity (μrel = suspension viscosity/suspending fluid viscosity) of low Reynolds number, dilute and surfactant-free bubble suspensions in simple shear is studied with a rotating cylinder, Couette rheometer. The conditions of the experiments correspond to capillary numbers (Ca) of order 1 and bridge previous experimental, theoretical and numerical results that focused on either Ca...

A unified slip model is developed, which predicts wall slip by either a disentanglement mechanism or by debonding mechanism, depending upon the adhesive energy of the wall-polymer pair. The model is based on the transient network theory, in which the activation processes of adsorption and desorption are considered to occur at the wall in parallel to the stretching of the adsorbed chains. It is ...

The effect of viscous heating on the linear stability of torsional flow of a viscoelastic fluid is analyzed. We consider an Oldroyd-B fluid subjected to a steady shearing motion in a cone–plate system with small gap. Previous experimental and analytical results show that in the isothermal case the flow is unstable to short wavelength disturbances for values of the Deborah number greater than so...
متن کاملNon-parametric tests of returns to scale
This paper discusses various statistics for testing hypotheses regarding returns to scale in the context of non-parametric models of technical efficiency. In addition, the paper presents bootstrap estimation procedures which yield appropriate critical values for the test statistics. Evidence on the true sizes and power of the various proposed tests is obtained from Monte-Carlo experiments. This...
