We present a reformulation of the 'reactive rod model' (RRM) of Dutta and Graham [Dutta, Sarit and Graham, Michael D., JNNFM 251 (2018)], a constitutive model for describing the behavior of dilute wormlike micelle solutions. The RRM treats…

We develop a tensorial constitutive model for dense, shear-thickening particle suspensions subjected to time-dependent flow. Our model combines a recently proposed evolution equation for the suspension microstructure in rate-independent…

We investigate the flow evolution of a linear and a branched wormlike micellar solution with matched rheology in a Taylor-Couette (TC) cell using a combination of particle-tracking velocimetry, birefringence, and turbidity measurements.…

We propose a model for the evolution of the conductivity tensor for a flowing suspension of electrically conductive particles. We use discrete particle numerical simulations together with a continuum physical framework to construct an…

We analyze the representation of viscous stresses in the one-fluid formulation of the two-phase Navier-Stokes equations, the model on which all computational approaches making use of a fixed mesh to discretize the flow field are grounded.…

Constitutive equations are developed for a polymer fluid, which is treated as a permanent network of strands bridged by junctions. The junctions are assumed to slide with respect to their reference positions under loading. Governing…

We investigate the effects of micellar entanglement number on the kinetics of shear banding flow formation in a Taylor-Couette flow. Three sets of wormlike micellar solutions, each set with a similar fluid elasticity and zero-shear-rate…

Flow-induced configuration dynamics and scission of rodlike micelles are studied for the first time using molecular dynamics simulations in presence of explicit solvent and salt. Predicted dependence of tumbling frequency and orientation…

Long-chained, viscoelastic surfactant solutions (VES) have been widely employed in the oil and gas industry, particularly in hydraulic fracturing and gravel-packing operations, where turbulence is commonly reached due to high pumping rates.…

Unentangled wormlike micelle solutions relax stress through a dynamic interplay of reversible scission and intrachain relaxation involving a hierarchy of molecular timescales whose relationship to linear viscoelastic response remains…

In this work, we numerically investigate flow instabilities of inertialess circular Couette flow of dilute wormlike micelle solutions. Using the reformulated reactive rod model (RRM-R) [Hommel and Graham, JNNFM 295 (2021) 104606], which…

Hypothesis Understanding the scission of rod-like micelles under mechanical forces is crucial for optimizing their stability and behavior in industrial applications. This study investigates how micelle length, flexibility, and external…

Shear flow of dense, non-Brownian suspensions is simulated using the discrete element method, taking particle contact and hydrodynamic lubrication into account. The resulting flow regimes are mapped in the parametric space of solid volume…

Main characteristics of colloidal systems that develop fluid phases with different mechanical properties, namely shear-banding fluids, are briefly reviewed both from experimental and theoretical (modelling) point of view. A non-monotonic…

Nonlinearities in constitutive equations of extended objects in shear flow lead to novel phenomena, {\it e.g.} "rheochaos" in solutions of wormlike micelles and "elastic turbulence" in polymer solutions. Since both phenomena involve…

We present theoretical predictions of granular flow in a conical hopper based on a continuum theory employing a recently-developed constitutive model with microstructure evolution by Sun and Sundaresan [1]. The model is developed for strain…

Dense suspensions are non-Newtonian fluids which exhibit strong shear thickening and normal stress differences. Using numerical simulation of extensional and shear flows, we investigate how rheological properties are determined by the…

We study theoretically the formation of shear bands in time-dependent flows of polymeric and wormlike micellar surfactant fluids, focussing on the protocols of step shear stress, step shear strain (or in practice a rapid strain ramp), and…

We recently developed a tensorial constitutive model for dense, shear-thickening particle suspensions that combines rate-independent microstructural evolution with a stress-dependent jamming threshold. This gives a good qualitative account…

Under inhomogeneous flow, dense suspensions exhibit complex behaviour that violates the conventional homogenous rheology. Specifically, one finds flowing regions with a macroscopic friction coefficient below the yielding criterion, and…
