Viscoelastic fluids can exhibit striking flow instabilities under conditions where ordinary Newtonian are stable, owing to the nonlinear coupling of elastic and viscous stresses. This article provides perspectives on viscoelastic by integrating input from speakers at a recent international workshop: historical remarks, characterization flows, discussion experimental simulation tools, modern questions puzzles that motivate further studies this fascinating subject. The materials here will be...

Pressure-imposed rheometry is used to study the rheological properties of suspensions non-colloidal spheres in yield-stress fluids. Accurate measurements for both shear stress and particle normal are obtained dense regime. The favourably compared with a model based on scaling arguments homogenisation methods.

The presented algorithm designed to allow the first time simulations inertial turbulent EVP fluids with large number droplets. This achieved by combining fast highly scalable methods such as an FFT‐based pressure solver, evolution equation non‐Newtonian (including EVP) stresses. flexible computational framework, fluid...
Abstract A key challenge underlying the design of miniature machines is encoding materials with time‐ and space‐specific functional behaviors that require little human intervention. Dissipative processes drive beyond equilibrium evolve continuously time location represent one promising strategy to achieve such complex functions. This work reports how internal nonequilibrium states liquid crystal (LC) emulsion droplets undergoing chemotaxis can be used delivery a chemical agent targeted...

The non-Newtonian is simulated by solving the full incompressible Navier–Stokes equations coupled with evolution equation for stress tensor. are carried out a wide range Reynolds numbers, Bingham numbers ratios fluid total viscosity, while performed at fixed bulk number equal to 2800 weak elasticity. show that in regime friction factor increases monotonically (yield stress) decreases viscosity...
Adding large non-Brownian particles to a cornstarch suspension moves the discontinuous shear-thickening transition lower critical shear rates, allowing control of properties by varying large-particle concentration, while stress at is little changed.
In the limit of a large yield stress, or equivalently at initiation motion, viscoplastic flows can develop narrow boundary layers that provide either surfaces failure between rigid plugs, lubrication plugged flow and wall buffers for regions predominantly plastic deformation. Oldroyd ( Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. , vol. 43, 1947, pp. 383–395) presented first theoretical discussion these layers, offering an asymptotic reduction governing equations some model problems. However, complicated...
In this Letter, we present a new mechanism under the action of which shear thickening suspension transitions from continuous to discontinuous regime. This transition occurs by adding high concentrations large spheres suspension. We show that solid volume fraction interstitial matrix is locally enhanced due presence particles and excluded-volume shells surrounding particles, thus leading at local scale.
We experimentally investigate particle migration in a non-Brownian suspension sheared Taylor–Couette configuration and the limit of vanishing Reynolds number. Highly resolved index-matching techniques are used to measure local particulate volume fraction. In this wide-gap configuration, we find that for large range bulk fraction, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{b}\in [20\,\%{-}50\,\%]$ , fully developed concentration profiles well predicted by balance model Nott & Brady ( J. Fluid Mech. vol....
Interfacial instabilities of multi-layer shear flows may be eliminated by astute positioning yield stress fluid layers that remain unyielded at the interface(s). We study initiation, development lengths and temporal stability such in setting a Newtonian core surrounded Bingham lubricated fluid, within pipe. Flow initiation is effected starting flow with pipe full stationary injecting both inner outer fluids simultaneously. Initial instability dispersive mixing front remains localised...
In this paper, we introduce a new technique based on X-ray radiography with high temporal (O(0.1 s)) and spatial (O(10 μm)) resolutions to study fast suspension flows regardless of optical access. We benefit from the axial symmetry our flow configuration, wide gap Couette setup, extract 3D solid volume fraction field single projection image. propose mathematical algorithm inversion Abel transform in conjunction H1 regularization data denoising measure suspensions second. show that results...
Solids dispersion is an important part of hydraulic fracturing, both in helping to understand phenomena such as tip screen-out and spreading the pad, new process variations cyclic pumping proppant. Whereas many frac fluids have low viscosity, e.g. slickwater, others transport proppant through increased viscosity. In this context, one method for influencing solids-carrying capacity use a yield stress fluid fluid. We propose model framework scenario analyse simplifications. A key effect...

We perform $3$D numerical simulations to investigate the sedimentation of a single sphere in absence and presence simple cross shear flow yield stress fluid with weak inertia. In our simulations, settling is considered be primary flow, whereas linear secondary amplitude $10\%$ flow. To study effects elasticity plasticity carrying on drag as well dynamics, modeled using elastovisco-plastic (EVP) constitutive laws proposed by \cite{saramito2009new}. The extra non-Newtonian tensor fully coupled...
Visco-plastic lubrication (VPL) has been established as a method for reliably suppressing interfacial instabilities and enhancing flow stability multi-layer systems. Here we extend this methodology to the formation of shaped interfaces in multifluid core-annular configurations. We study VPL flows which perform both experiment computation with oscillating rates individual phases. According rate variations succeed freezing range different patterns. Experiments performed carbopol lubricating...
Viscoplastic fluids do not flow unless they are sufficiently stressed. This property can be exploited in order to produce novel features. One example of such flows is viscoplastically lubricated (VPL) flow, which a viscoplastic fluid used stabilize the interface multi-layer far beyond what might expected for typical viscous–viscous interface. Here we extend this idea by considering encapsulation droplets within fluid, purpose transportation, e.g. pipelines. The main advantage method,...
