Potential "ways of thinking" about the shear-banding phenomenon
M. A. Fardin, T. J. Ober, C. Gay +3
Shear-banding is a curious but ubiquitous phenomenon occurring in soft matter. The phenomenological similarities between the shear-banding transition and phase transitions has push…
Shear-induced transitions and instabilities in surfactant wormlike micelles
Sandra Lerouge, Jean-Francois Berret
In this review, we report recent developments on the shear-induced transitions and instabilities found in surfactant wormlike micelles. The survey focuses on the non-linear shear r…
Taylor-like vortices in the shear-banding flow of giant micelles
M. A. Fardin, B. Lasne, O. Cardoso +4
Using flow visualizations in Couette geometry, we demonstrate the existence of Taylor-like vortices in the shear-banding flow of a giant micelles system. We show that vortices stac…
Interface dynamics in shear-banding flow of giant micelles
S. Lerouge, M. A. Fardin, M. Argentina +2
We report on a non trivial dynamics of the interface between shear bands following a start-up of flow in a semi-dilute wormlike micellar system investigated using a combination of…
Interface instability in shear banding flow
S. Lerouge, M. Argentina, J. P. Decruppe
We report on the spatio-temporal dynamics of the interface in shear-banding flow of a wormlike micellar system (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium nitrate in water) during a…
