Rheology of emulsions

SR Derkach - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2009 - Elsevier
The review is devoted to the historical and modern understanding of rheological properties
of emulsions in a broad range of concentration. In the limiting case of dilute emulsions, the …

Emulsion formation, stability, and rheology

TF Tadros - Emulsion formation and stability, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Emulsions are a class of disperse systems consisting of two immiscible liquids [1–3]. The
liquid droplets (the disperse phase) are dispersed in a liquid medium (the continuous …

Toward a fluid mechanics of suspensions

JF Morris - Physical Review Fluids, 2020 - APS
Suspensions are considered from the perspective of development of their bulk fluid
mechanics. Suspension mechanics has had a fluid mechanical basis since its inception, as …

Deformation and breakup of a viscoelastic drop in a Newtonian matrix under steady shear

N Aggarwal, K Sarkar - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2007 - cambridge.org
The deformation of a viscoelastic drop suspended in a Newtonian fluid subjected to a steady
shear is investigated using a front-tracking finite-difference method. The viscoelasticity is …

Two-dimensional numerical modelling of viscous emulsion drops coalescence in a constricted capillary channel

B Munir, D Du - International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2023 - Elsevier
We study numerically the coalescence of viscous emulsion drops in a two-dimensional semi-
elliptical shape constricted channel. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved using the finite …

Three-dimensional simulation of elastic capsules in shear flow by the penalty immersed boundary method

WX Huang, CB Chang, HJ Sung - Journal of Computational Physics, 2012 - Elsevier
An improved penalty immersed boundary method (pIBM) has been proposed for simulation
of flow-induced deformation of three-dimensional (3D) elastic capsules. The motion of the …

Front tracking simulation of deformation and buckling instability of a liquid capsule enclosed by an elastic membrane

X Li, K Sarkar - Journal of Computational Physics, 2008 - Elsevier
The dynamics of a liquid capsule enclosed by an elastic membrane in a shear flow is
investigated using a front tracking finite difference method. We compute deformation …

Coalescence time of water-in-oil emulsions under shear

YS Tian, EQ Li, E Elsaadawy, JM Zhang… - Chemical Engineering …, 2022 - Elsevier
Here we use microfluidic techniques to study the coalescence dynamics of water-in-oil
emulsions in a simple shear flow. Single water-in-oil emulsion droplets are produced in a …

Dissipative particle dynamics simulation of droplet suspension in shear flow at low Capillary number

D Pan, N Phan-Thien, BC Khoo - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid …, 2014 - Elsevier
The dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method is used to simulate droplet suspension. The
deformation of a single droplet is first studied to validate the method and a good agreement …

Droplet deformation and breakup in shear-thinning viscoelastic fluid under simple shear flow

D Wang, N Wang, H Liu - Journal of Rheology, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
