Phase Coexistence Properties of Polarizable Stockmayer Fluids
We report the phase coexistence properties of polarizable Stockmayer fluids of reduced permanent dipoles |m0| = 1.0 and 2.0 and reduced polarizabilities α∗ = 0.00, 0.03, and 0.06, calculated by a series of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations with the histogram reweighting method. In the histogram reweighting method, the distributions of density and energy calculated in Grand Canonical Monte...
متن کاملTurbulent pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids
Direct numerical simulation of the weakly turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is undertaken for two different generalised Newtonian rheology models using a spectral element-Fourier method. Results for a power law (shear-thinning) rheology agree well with experimentally determined logarithmic layer correlations and with other previously published experimental work. As the flow index becomes s...
متن کاملDensity functional theory of phase coexistence in weakly polydisperse fluids
The recently proposed universal relations between the moments of the polydispersity distributions of a phase-separated weakly polydisperse system are analyzed in detail using the numerical results obtained by solving a simple density functional theory of a polydisperse fluid. It is shown that universal properties are the exception rather than the rule.
متن کاملYieldlike constitutive transition in shear flow of entangled polymeric fluids.
We describe an unexpected constitutive transition in entangled polymer solutions. At and beyond a critical stress, the initial spatially homogeneous and well-entangled sample transforms from its entangled (coiled) state into a fully disentangled (stretched) state over a period during which the resulting shear rate increases in a spatially inhomogeneous fashion. In the mode of controlled shear r...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Shear and Extensional Microrheometry of Complex Fluids
We review the design and construction of several new microrheometers designed to facilitate the study of non-Newtonian fluids using very small sample volumes (1-10 μl) and on length scales of micrometer dimensions. These devices enable both the steady shear and transient extensional rheological properties of complex fluids to be measured. The shear-rate-dependent viscosity and gap-dependent yie...
