Viscoelastic 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 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...
متن کاملViscoelastic effects on electromechanical instabilities in dielectric elastomers
We present a computational study of the effects of viscoelasticity on the electromechanical behavior of dielectric elastomers. A dynamic, finite deformation finite element formulation for dielectric elastomers is developed that incorporates the effects of viscoelasticity using the nonlinear viscoelasticity theory previously proposed by Reese and Govindjee. The finite element model features a th...
متن کاملAnalysis 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 کاملModel of Surface Instabilities Induced by Stress
We propose a model based on a Ginzburg-Landau approach to study a strain relief mechanism at a free interface of a nonhydrostatically stressed solid, commonly observed in thin-film growth. The evolving instability, known as the Grinfeld instability, is studied numerically in two and three dimensions. Inherent in the description is the proper treatment of nonlinearities. We find that these nonli...
