In this review, I present an idiosyncratic view of the current state of shear banding in complex
fluids. Particular attention is paid to some of the outstanding issues and questions facing the …

Abstract “Banded structures” of macroscopic dimensions can be induced by simple shear
flow in many different types of soft matter systems. Depending on whether these bands …

We study the Johnson–Segalman (JS) model as a paradigm for some complex fluids which
are observed to phase separate, or “shear band” in flow. We analyze the behavior of this …

The electro-osmotic flow of a viscoelastic fluid between parallel plates is investigated
analytically. The rheology of the fluid is described by the Phan-Thien–Tanner model. This …

Analytical solutions are derived for the steady state channel and pipe flows of viscoelastic
fluids obeying the complete single-mode Phan-Thien–Tanner (PTT) constitutive equation …

In recent years, progress has been made in modelling long chain branched polymers by the
introduction of the so-called pom-pom model. Initially developed by McLeish and Larson …

The continually growing plastics market consists of more than 250 million tons of product
annually, making the recurring problem of polymer melt fracture an acute issue in the …

This paper presents a numerical comparison of viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid flow using a
generalized Oldroyd-B model and Johnson–Segalman model under various settings …

In this paper, we use rheometry and flow visualization to study the dynamics of the interface
between shear bands in a wormlike micellar solution sheared between concentric cylinders …

We present analytic solutions for steady flow of the Johnson–Segalman (JS) model with a
diffusion term in various geometries and under controlled strain rate conditions, using …
