Micelles are formed by the self-assembly of surfactants in solutions. Wormlike micelles or
living polymers are a particularly interesting fluids because their long flexible cylindrical …

Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are
encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of …

Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids, Second Edition continues to
provide thorough coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

Flow around a cylinder is a classical problem in fluid dynamics and also one of the
benchmarks for testing viscoelastic flows. The problem is of wide relevance to …

The dynamics of slender filaments or fibers suspended in Stokesian fluids are fundamental
to understanding many flows arising in physics, biology and engineering. Such filaments …

We have studied the motion of spheres falling through yield-stress Carbopol gels. We
measured the velocity of the falling sphere as a function of time and sphere density …

Nonlinear shear and extensional flow dynamics of a wormlike micellar solution based on
erucyl bis (2-hydroxyethyl) methyl ammonium chloride (EHAC) are reported here. The …

Microscopic colloidal particles suspended in liquids are a prominent example of an
overdamped system where viscous forces dominate over inertial effects. Frequently, colloids …

We employ time-resolved flow velocimetry and birefringence imaging methods to study the
flow of a well-characterized shear-banding wormlike micellar solution around a novel glass …

In this study, xanthan gum is used as a model exopolymer to demonstrate potential effects of
non-Newtonian properties of natural aquatic systems on settling dynamics of particles …
