Numerical assessment of the penetroviscometer approach for large, rapid and transient shear deformations

Ahmad Fakhari, Francisco J. Galindo-Rosales

The rheological characterisation of complex fluids is mostly performed under simple shear flow in rotational rheometers. Their modern commercial versions are extremely sensitive in…

Dilatancy in dense suspensions of model hard-sphere-like colloids under shear and extensional flow

Ricardo J. E. Andrade, Alan R. Jacob, Francisco J. Galindo-Rosales +4

Dense suspensions of model hard-sphere-like colloids, with different particle sizes, are examined experimentally in the glass state, under shear and extensional rheology. Under ste…

Conjugate heat transfer in the unbounded flow of a viscoelastic fluid past a sphere

F. Pimenta, M. A. Alves

This work addresses the conjugate heat transfer of a simplified PTT fluid flowing past an unbounded sphere in the Stokes regime (). The problem is numerically solved wit…

A coupled finite-volume solver for numerical simulation of electrically-driven flows

Francisco Pimenta, Manuel A. Alves

The accuracy and stability of implicit CFD codes are frequently impaired by the decoupling between variables, which can ultimately lead to numerical divergence. Coupled solvers, wh…

Secondary flows of viscoelastic fluids in serpentine microchannels

Lucie Ducloue, Laura Casanellas, Simon J. Haward +5

Secondary flows are ubiquitous in channel flows, where small velocity components perpendicular to the main velocity appear due to the complexity of the channel geometry and/or that…

Lid-driven cavity flow of viscoelastic liquids

R. G. Sousa, R. J. Poole, A. M. Afonso +4

The lid-driven cavity flow is a well-known benchmark problem for the validation of new numerical methods and techniques. In experimental and numerical studies with viscoelastic flu…

Enhanced Microfluidic Mixing via a Tricritical Spiral Vortex Instability

Simon J. Haward, Robert J. Poole, Manuel A. Alves +3

Experimental measurements and numerical simulations are made on fluid flow through cross-slot devices with a range of aspect (depth:width) ratios, 0.4 < alpha < 3.87. For low Reyno…

Geometric scaling of purely-elastic flow instabilities

J. Zilz, R. J. Poole, M. A. Alves +3

We present a combined experimental, numerical and theoretical investigation of the geometric scaling of the onset of a purely-elastic flow instability in a serpentine channel. Good…
