Distinguishing shear banding from shear thinning in flows with a shear stress gradient

P Cheng, MC Burroughs, LG Leal, ME Helgeson - Rheologica Acta, 2017 - Springer
Shear banding occurs in complex fluids that exhibit a non-monotonic constitutive instability,
such as wormlike micelles, and potentially also in polymeric fluids with presumably …

[PDF][PDF] Instabilities in wormlike micelle systems: From shear-banding to elastic turbulence

MA Fardin, S Lerouge - The European Physical Journal E, 2012 - Springer
Shear-banding is ubiquitous in complex fluids. It is related to the organization of the flow into
macroscopic bands bearing different viscosities and local shear rates and stacked along the …

Comparison between shear banding and shear thinning in entangled micellar solutions

YT Hu, C Palla, A Lips - Journal of Rheology, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
We have studied the concentration dependence of velocity profiles for a micellar system
consisting of cetylpyridium chloride and sodium salicylate and demonstrated a shear …

Flow-induced structures versus flow instabilities

MA Fardin, C Perge, N Taberlet, S Manneville - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
The Taylor-Couette flow of a dilute micellar system known to generate shear-induced
structures is investigated through simultaneous rheometry and ultrasonic imaging. We show …

Shear banding in time-dependent flows of polymers and wormlike micelles

RL Moorcroft, SM Fielding - Journal of Rheology, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
We study theoretically the formation of shear bands in time-dependent flows of polymeric
and wormlike micellar surfactant fluids, focussing on the protocols of step shear stress, step …

Shear-banding structure orientated in the vorticity direction observed for equimolar micellar solution

P Fischer - Rheologica Acta, 2000 - Springer
Recently we studied time dependent structural changes that are coupled with flow
instabilities (Fischer 1998; Wheeler 1998; Fischer 2000). Within a stability analysis, a …

Nonaxisymmetric instability of shear-banded Taylor-Couette flow

A Nicolas, A Morozov - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
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 …
