A minimal model for chaotic shear banding in shear-thickening fluids
A. Aradian, M. E. Cates
We present a minimal model for spatiotemporal oscillation and rheochaos in shear-thickening complex fluids at zero Reynolds number. In the model, a tendency towards inhomogeneous f…

Flow instabilities in complex fluids: Nonlinear rheology and slow relaxations
A. Aradian, M. E. Cates
We here present two simplified models aimed at describing the long-term, irregular behaviours observed in the rheological response of certain complex fluids, such as periodic oscil…

Interfacial layering in a three-component polymer system
A. Aradian, F. Saulnier, E. Raphael +1
We study theoretically the temporal evolution and the spatial structure of the interface between two polymer melts involving three different species (A, A* and B). The first melt i…
