A Study of Non-linear Flows and Shear Banding in Wormlike Micelles Under Varying Elasticity, Flow Curvature, and Surfactant Chemistry
Alfredo Scigliani, Hadi Mohammadigoushki
We report the flow dynamics of two shear-banding wormlike micellar solutions with distinct surfactant chemistries in a Taylor-Couette (TC) setup following a startup shear. The solu…

Kinetics of Shear Banding Flow Formation in Linear and Branched Wormlike Micelles
Peter Rassolov, Alfredo Scigliani, Hadi Mohammadigoushki
We investigate the flow evolution of a linear and a branched wormlike micellar solution with matched rheology in a Taylor-Couette (TC) cell using a combination of particle-tracking…
