Permeability heterogeneity and bulk linear elasticity of displaced clay suspensions determine interfacial pattern morphologies in Hele-Shaw experiments

Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Ranjini Bandyopadhyay

When a less viscous Newtonian fluid displaces an aging aqueous clay suspension in a confined space, a rich array of interfacial patterns emerges due to a predominantly viscous inst…

Using optical tweezer electrophoresis to investigate clay nanoplatelet adsorption on Latex microspheres in aqueous media

Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Sayantan Chanda, Sri Vishnu Bharat Sivasubramaniam +1

The adsorption of charged clay nanoplatelets plays an important role in stabilizing emulsions by forming a barrier around the emulsion droplets and preventing coalescence. In this…

Manipulating crack formation in air-dried clay suspensions with tunable elasticity

Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Ranjini Bandyopadhyay

Clay, the major ingredient of natural soils, is often used as a rheological modifier while formulating paints and coatings. When subjected to desiccation, colloidal clay suspension…

Interfacial instabilities in confined displacements involving non-Newtonian fluids

Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Ranjini Bandyopadhyay

The growth of interfacial instabilities during fluid displacements can be driven by gradients in pressure, viscosity and surface tension, and by applying external fields. Since dis…

Growth kinetics of interfacial patterns formed by the radial displacement of an aging viscoelastic suspension

Palak, Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Ranjini Bandyopadhyay

When a soft glassy colloidal suspension is displaced by a Newtonian fluid in a radial Hele-Shaw geometry, the pattern morphology that develops at the interface is determined by the…

Emergence of transient reverse fingers during radial displacement of a shear-thickening fluid

Palak Palak, Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Sayantan Chanda +1

A highly sheared dense aqueous suspension of granular cornstarch particles displays rich nonlinear rheology. We had previously demonstrated the growth and onset of interfacial inst…

Pattern selection in radial displacements of a confined aging viscoelastic fluid

Palak Palak, Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Debasish Saha +1

Intricate fluid displacement patterns, arising from the unstable growth of interfacial perturbations, can be driven by fluid viscoelasticity and surface tension. A soft glassy susp…
