Abstract Systems made by particles in viscoelastic liquids are ubiquitous in a variety of industrial and biological applications. Much work has been done in the last half-century in …
A book of 420 pages with the simple title Rheology, written in 2006, that's intriguing! After an introduction and a literature survey (citing many of the classical works on fluid mechanics …
Cooling crystallization of small organic molecules from solution is an important operation for the separation and purification of drug products. In this research, shear-induced nucleation …
Rigid particles suspended in viscoelastic fluids under shear can align in string-like structures in the flow direction. Although this phenomenon was first reported almost four decades ago …
The review concerns modern physicochemical, chemical and physical approaches to research into structural features that determine the rheological properties of highly …
When particles are dispersed in a rheologically complex medium, a striking alignment of particles into strings can be observed during shear flow. This occurs even under conditions …
The demand for fiber-filled polymers has witnessed a significant upswing in recent years. A comprehensive understanding of the local fiber orientation is imperative to accurately predict …
We present simulations of the start-up of shear flow of 2D suspensions of rigid particles in viscoelastic fluids. A novel numerical method is applied that makes use of biperiodic …
