Analysis and Suppression of Instabilities in Viscoelastic Flows
The viscoelastic character of polymer solutions and melts gives rise to instabilities that are not seen in the flows of Newtonian liquids. In industrial applications such as coating and extrusion, these so-called “elastic” instabilities can impose a limitation on the throughput. Hence, it is important to understand, and if possible, to suppress them. The first instability we study is the phenom...
متن کاملViscoelastic surface instabilities
We review three different types of viscoelastic surface instabilities: The Rayleigh – Plateau, the Saffman – Taylor and the Faraday instability. These instabilities are classical examples of hydrodynamic surface instabilities. The addition of a small amount of polymers to pure water can alter its flow behavior drastically and the type of instability may change not only quantitatively but also q...
متن کاملInstabilities in Granular Flows
The flow and handling of granular materials is of major importance to many industries. Yet despite efforts over several decades, the modeling of such flows has achieved only modest success. Dense gravity-driven flows in hoppers have been often modeled as elastic-plastic continua, for example. In this picture, the granular material flows as a plastic with a frictional yield condition, and deform...
متن کاملOn the relation between viscoelastic and magnetohydrodynamic flows and their instabilities
We demonstrate a close analogy between a viscoelastic medium and an electrically conducting fluid containing a magnetic field. Specifically, the dynamics of the Oldroyd-B fluid in the limit of large Deborah number corresponds to that of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid in the limit of large magnetic Reynolds number. As a definite example of this analogy, we compare the stability properties of ...
متن کاملViscoelastic Free Surface Instabilities During Exponential Stretching
A viscous Newtonian fluid and two model polystyrene Boger fluids are used to investigate the evolution of free-surface instabilities during the debonding of two cylindrical parallel rigid surfaces. A filament stretching rheometer is used to separate the surfaces at an exponential rate and simultaneously measure the evolution in the axial force. The experimental configuration also allows for sim...
