A simple model for heterogeneous flows of yield stress fluids

Abstract

Various experiments evidence spatial heterogeneities in sheared yield stress fluids. To account for heterogeneities in the velocity gradient direction, we use a simple model corresponding to a non-monotonous local constitutive curve and study a simple shear geometry. Different types of boundary conditions are considered. Under controlled macroscopic shear stress $\Sigma$, we find homogeneous flow in the bulk and a hysteretic macroscopic stress - shear rate curve. Under controlled macroscopic shear rate $\dot{\Gamma }$, shear banding is predicted within a range of values of $\dot{\Gamma }$. For small shear rates, stick slip can also be observed. These qualitative behaviours are robust when changing the boundary conditions.
