Shear Thinning and Local Melting of Colloidal Crystals [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2011 Phenomena such as shear thinning and thickening, occurring when complex materials are exposed to external forces, are generally believed to be closely connected to changes in the microstructure. Here, we establish a direct and quantitative relation between shear thinning in a colloidal crystal and the surface area of the locally melted region by ...

The shear-driven Rayleigh problem for generalised Newtonian fluids [PDF]
, 2014 We consider a variant of the classical ‘Rayleigh problem’ (‘Stokes’s first problem’) in which a semi-infinite region of initially quiescent fluid is mobilised by a shear stress applied suddenly to its boundary. We show that self-similar solutions for the

Shear-Thinning Characteristics of Nematic Liquid Crystals Doped with Nanoparticles
Crystals, 2016 This work investigated changes in the physical properties of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) upon doping with nanoparticles. Shear viscosity measurements demonstrated the shear-thinning of typical NLCs following the addition of small amounts of ...

Global regularity properties of steady shear thinning flows
, 2016 In this paper we study the regularity of weak solutions to systems of p-Stokes type, describing the motion of some shear thinning fluids in certain steady regimes.

Effect of microchannel aspect ratio on residence time distributions and the axial dispersion coefficient [PDF]
, 2009 The effect of microchannel aspect ratio (channel depth/channel width) on residence time distributions and the axial dispersion coefficient have been investigated for Newtonian and shear thinning non-Newtonian flow using computational fluid dynamics.

Thinning or thickening? Multiple rheological regimes in dense suspensions of soft particles
, 2014 The shear rheology of dense colloidal and granular suspensions is strongly nonlinear, as these materials exhibit shear-thinning and shear-thickening, depending on multiple physical parameters.

Viscoelastic gels of guar and xanthan gum mixtures provide long-term stabilization of iron micro- and nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2012 Iron micro- and nanoparticles used for groundwater remediation and medical applications are prone to fast aggregation and sedimentation. Diluted single biopolymer water solutions of guar gum (GG) or xanthan gum (XG) can stabilize these particles for few ...

Instability and morphology of polymer solutions coating a fiber
, 2012 We report an experimental study on the dynamics of a thin film of polymer solution coating a vertical fiber. The liquid film has first a constant thickness and then undergoes the Rayleigh-Plateau instability which leads to the formation of sequences of ...
