Extensibility governs the flow-induced alignment of polymers and rod-like colloids
Vincenzo Calabrese, Tatiana Porto Santos, Carlos G. Lopez +3
Polymers and rod-like colloids (PaRC) adopt a favorable orientation under sufficiently strong flows. However, how the flow kinematics affect the alignment of such nanostructures ac…
Extensional rheometry of mobile fluids. Part II: Comparison between the uniaxial, planar and biaxial extensional rheology of dilute polymer solutions using numerically-optimized stagnation point microfluidic devices
Simon J. Haward, Stylianos Varchanis, Gareth H. McKinley +2
In Part I of this paper [Haward et al. submitted (2023)], we presented a new three-dimensional microfluidic device (the optimized uniaxial and biaxial extensional rheometer, OUBER)…
Extensional rheometry of mobile fluids. Part I: OUBER, an optimized uniaxial and biaxial extensional rheometer
Simon J. Haward, Francisco Pimenta, Stylianos Varchanis +4
We present a numerical optimization of a "6-arm cross-slot" device, yielding several three-dimensional shapes of fluidic channels designed to impose close approximations to ideal u…
