Rheological instability in a simple shear thickening model
– We study the strain response to steady imposed stress in a spatially homogeneous, scalar model for shear thickening, in which the local rate of yielding Γ(l) of mesoscopic ‘elastic elements’ is not monotonic in the local strain l. Despite this, the macroscopic, steady-state flow curve (stress vs. strain rate) is monotonic. However, for a broad class of Γ(l), the response to steady stress is n...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal oscillations and rheochaos in a simple model of shear banding.
We study a simple model of shear banding in which the flow-induced phase is destabilized by coupling between flow and microstructure (wormlike micellar length). By varying the strength of instability and the applied shear rate, we find a rich variety of oscillatory and chaotic shear banded flows. At low shear and weak instability, the induced phase pulsates next to one wall of the flow cell. Fo...
متن کاملShear-Thickening Fluid
Shear-Thickening Fluids (STFs) are a special Non-Newtonian Fluid that act like a solid when they experience a force. A simple example of this is a mixture of cornstarch and water. In this experiment, I text this mixture’s STF properties by using a ball drop to simulate an impact. By varying the ball drop height (and thus the force upon impact), and observing the bounce height, I determined wher...
متن کاملShear Thickening Oscillation in a Dilatant Fluid
By introducing a state variable, we construct a phenomenological fluid dynamical model of a dilatant fluid, i.e., a dense mixture of fluid and granules that shows severe shear thickening. We demonstrate that the fluid shows shear thickening oscillation, namely, the fluid flow oscillates owning to the coupling between the fluid dynamics and the internal dynamics of state. We also demonstrate tha...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal rheochaos in nematic hydrodynamics.
Motivated by recent observations of rheochaos in sheared wormlike micelles, we study the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for the hydrodynamic velocity and order-parameter fields in a sheared nematogenic fluid. In a suitable parameter range, we find irregular, dynamic shear banding and establish by decisive numerical tests that the chaos we observe in the model is spatiotemporal...
