Thixotropy is a phenomenon related to time dependent change in viscosity in presence or absence of flow. The yield stress, on the other hand, represents the minimum value of stress above which steady flow can be sustained. In addition, the…
The flow of a simple glass forming system (a 80:20 binary Lennard-Jones mixture) through a planar channel is studied via molecular dynamics simulations. The flow is driven by an external body force similar to gravity. Previous studies show…
In this study, we investigate the transition between the Newtonian and the viscoelastic regimes during the pinch-off of droplets of dilute polymer solutions and discuss its link to the coil-stretch transition. The detachment of a drop from…
We present an experimental study of the motion of a viscoelastic micellar material around a moving cylinder, which ranges in response from fluid-like flow to solid-like tearing and fracture, depending on the cylinder radius and velocity.…
The evolution of the liquid bridge formed between two coalescing sessile yield-stress drops is studied experimentally. We find that the height of the bridge evolves similar to a viscous Newtonian fluid, $h_0\sim t$, before arresting at long…
The influence of alternating shear orientation and strain amplitude of cyclic loading on yielding in amorphous solids is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The model glass is represented via a binary mixture that was rapidly…
We study the rheology of a suspension of soft deformable droplets subjected to a pressure-driven flow. Through computer simulations, we measure the apparent viscosity as a function of droplet concentration and pressure gradient, and provide…
The yield stress is a defining feature of amorphous materials which is difficult to analyze theoretically, because it stems from the strongly non-linear response of an arrested solid to an applied deformation. Mode-coupling theory predicts…
An elastic layer slides on a rigid flat governed by Coulomb's friction law. We demonstrate that if the coefficient of friction is high enough, the sliding localizes within stick-slip pulses, which transform into opening waves propagating at…
Measuring surface tension of yield stress fluids has remained a critical challenge due to limitations of the traditional tensiometry techniques. Here, we overcome those limits and successfully measure the surface tension and mechanical…
We investigate theoretically the buoyancy-driven motion of a viscous drop in a yield-stress material, incorporating elastic effects represented by the Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley constitutive equation. We solve the governing equations using…
The transition from elastic to plastic deformation in crystalline metals shares history dependence and scale-invariant avalanche signature with other non-equilibrium systems under external loading: dilute colloidal suspensions,…
When stressed sufficiently, solid materials yield and deform plastically via reorganization of microscopic constituents. Indeed, it is possible to alter the micro-structure of materials by judicious application of stress, an empirical pro-…
We report on experimental measurements of the flow behavior of a wet, two-dimensional foam under conditions of slow, steady shear. The initial response of the foam is elastic. Above the yield strain, the foam begins to flow. The flow…
The effect of wall slip on the apparent flow curves of viscoplastic materials obtained using torsional parallel plate rheometers is analysed by considering Herschel-Bulkley fluids and assuming that slip occurs above a critical wall shear…
The subject of this work is the instability mechanism of simple shear flows, like Hagen-Poiseuille pipe flow, which is a long-standing problem in fluid mechanics [1,2]. A possible analogy with phenomenological theory of ideal plasticity in…
We perform traction experiments on simple liquids highly confined between parallel plates. At small separation rates, we observe a simple response corresponding to a convergent Poiseuille flow. Dramatic changes in the force response occur…
We develop a theory for drying-induced stresses in sessile, poroelastic drops undergoing evaporation on rigid surfaces. Using a lubrication-like approximation, the governing equations of three-dimensional nonlinear poroelasticity are…
Micro droplets are extensively used in chemical, biological, and medical research, primarily for conducting various tests on samples, including living organisms, using a microfluidic framework. Recent studies have shown that the physiology…
Viscoelastic fluid flows in narrow non-uniform geometries are ubiquitous in various engineering applications and physiological flow systems. For such flows, one of the key interests is understanding how fluid viscoelasticity affects the…
