High-shear rate rotational rheometry provides access to the fast nonlinear dynamics of soft
materials and, particularly, their shear stress (exhibiting shear thinning and/or thickening) as …

We all instinctively poke, bounce, scoop, and observe materials to understand rheological
properties quickly. Yet, these observations are rarely analyzed quantitatively. To address …

Diverse chemical, energy, environmental, and industrial processes involve the flow of
polymer solutions in porous media. The accumulation and dissipation of elastic stresses as …

It is well known that inertia-free shearing flows of a viscoelastic fluid with curved streamlines,
such as the torsional flow between a rotating cone and plate or the flow in a Taylor–Couette …

Laun's rule [HM Laun,“Prediction of elastic strains of polymer melts in shear and elongation,”
J. Rheol. 30, 459–501 (1986).] is commonly used for evaluating the rate-dependent first …

The Weissenberg effect, or rod-climbing phenomenon, occurs in non-Newtonian fluids
where the fluid interface ascends along a rotating rod. Despite its prominence, theoretical …
