Shear thinning in dilute polymer solutions
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2006 We use bead-spring models for a polymer coupled to a solvent described by multiparticle collision dynamics to investigate shear thinning effects in dilute polymer solutions. First, we consider the polymer motion and configuration in a shear flow. For flexible polymer models we find a sharp increase in the polymer radius of gyration and the fluctuations

Phase-field simulations of viscous fingering in shear-thinning fluids
, 2009 A phase-field model for the Hele-Shaw flow of non-Newtonian fluids is developed. It extends a previous model for Newtonian fluids to a wide range of shear-dependent fluids.

Shear flow effects on phase separation of entangled polymer blends [PDF]
, 1998 We introduce an entanglement model mixing rule for stress relaxation in a polymer blend to a modified Cahn-Hilliard equation of motion for concentration fluctuations in the presence of shear flow.

Rheology of Emulsions Thickened by Starch Nanoparticles
Nanomaterials, 2022 The rheology of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions thickened by starch nanoparticles is investigated here. The starch nanoparticle concentration is varied from 0 to 25 wt% based on the matrix aqueous phase. The oil concentration is varied from 0 to 65 wt%.

Universal mechanism of shear thinning in supercooled liquids
Communications PhysicsSoft glassy materials experience a significant reduction in viscosity η when subjected to shear flow, known as shear thinning. This phenomenon is characterized by a power-law scaling of η with the shear rate $$\dot{\gamma }$$ γ ° , $$\eta \propto {\dot ...

Characteristics of stratified flows of Newtonian/non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids
, 2017 Exact solutions for laminar stratified flows of Newtonian/non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids in horizontal and inclined channels are presented. An iterative algorithm is proposed to compute the laminar solution for the general case of a Carreau non ...

Yield dimensionless magnetic effect and shear thinning for magnetorheological grease
Results in Physics, 2020 The effects of silicone oil viscosity (SOV), carbonyl iron particles (CIPs) weight fraction and size on the yield dimensionless magnetic effect (DME) and shear-thinning behavior for magnetorheological (MR) grease were experimentally investigated in this ...

Laminar flow in three-dimensional square-square expansions [PDF]
, 2011 In this work we investigate the three-dimensional laminar flow of Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids through square–square expansions. The experimental results obtained in this simple geometry provide useful data for benchmarking purposes in complex three-

An improved equivalent viscosity model for the bubbly oil under high shear rate
FrictionShear-thinning effect of pure oil and distribution of bubble size are essential factors affecting the viscosity of bubbly oil. This study aims to establish an improved equivalent viscosity model for bubbly oil by considering the shear-thinning effect and
