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 ubiquitous wall slip behavior of viscoplastic fluids renders the analysis of their steady torsional flow data to determine their yield stress and other parameters of their shear viscosity material function challenging. Roughened…
A experimental study of low Reynolds numbers unsteady pipe flows of a yield stress shear thinning fluid (Carbopol- 980) is presented. The investigation of the solid-fluid transition in a rheometric flow in the presence and in the ab- sence…
The ability to predict and/or control wall slip is a fundamental problem in the hydrodynamics of yield stress fluids, which is poorly understood to date and has important applications in bio- and micro-fluidic systems. Systematic…
Hydrogels are increasingly recognized as a versatile platform for applications spanning from tissue engineering to soft robotics or flexible electronics. Recent efforts have focused on enhancing and tailoring their mechanical performance to…
Shear viscosity and wall slip of dense suspensions of a silicone polymer incorporated with polydisperse particles were investigated. Three types of particles with low aspect ratios were used to achieve a relatively high maximum packing…
The dynamics of a vesicle suspension in a shear flow between parallel plates has been investigated under microgravity conditions, where vesicles are only submitted to hydrodynamic effects such as lift forces due to the presence of walls and…
The progressive onset of slip at the wall, which corresponds to a slip length increasing with the solicitation time before reaching a plateau, has been investigated for model viscoelastic polymer solutions, allowing one to vary the longest…
Characterizing the elastic properties of soft materials through bulge testing relies on accurate measurement of deformation, which is experimentally challenging. To avoid measuring deformation, we propose a hydrodynamic bulge test for…
Hydrodynamic simulations have been used to study accretion disks consisting of counterrotating components with an intervening shear layer(s). Configurations of this type can arise from the accretion of newly supplied counterrotating matter…
It is established that the mechanical properties of hydrogels control the fate of (stem) cells. However, despite its importance, a one-to-one correspondence between gels' stiffness and cell behaviour is still missing from literature. In…
The paper deals with a theoretical study of electrokinetic flow of a rheological Herschel-Bulkley fluid through a cylindrical tube of variable cross-section. The concern of this study is to analyze combined pressure-driven and…
Active gels play an important role in biology and in inspiring biomimetic active materials, due to their ability to change shape, size and create their own morphology; the relevant mechanics behind these changes is driven by…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel with one rigid and one viscoelastic wall are performed. An Eulerian-Eulerian model is adopted with a level-set approach to identify the fluid-compliant material interface. Focus is…
The rigorous tools of convex analysis are used to examine various serial and parallel combinations of linear viscosity and perfect plasticity. Nonlinear viscosities are also considered. The general aim is to synthesize a single convex…
Numerical simulations of vesicle suspensions are performed in two dimensions to study their dynamical and rheological properties. An hybrid method is adopted, which combines a mesoscopic approach for the solvent with a curvature-elasticity…
In order to investigate the rheological properties of viscoelastic fluids by mesoscopic hydrodynamics methods, we develop a multi-particle collision dynamics (MPC) model for a fluid of harmonic dumbbells. The algorithm consists of…
Deviations between macrorheological and particle-based microrheological measurements are often considered a nuisance and neglected. We study aqueous poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) hydrogels for varying PEO concentrations and chain lengths that…
Rigidity plays an important role on the relaxation properties of glass forming melts, yet it is usually determined from the average co-ordination number through the chemical composition. A discussion is presented on how viscoelasticity can…
A planar two-dimensional computational analysis is presented to qualify traditional and fractal vane-in-cup geometries for accurate rheometry of simple viscoplastic fluids with and without slip. Numerical simulations based on an adaptive…
