Spreading dynamics of a drop of yield-stress fluid subject to vertical oscillations

Alice Woodbridge, Claudio P. Fonte, Anne Juel

The measurement of rheological properties from non-idealised flows is routinely used to characterise yield-stress materials. We extend the canonical slump test, which evaluates yie…

Yielded-region connectivity governs the onset of gravity-driven spreading in elastoviscoplastic drops

Alice Woodbridge, Patrick O'Rourke, Cláudio P. Fonte +1

The physical mechanisms controlling the onset of gravity-driven spreading of elastoviscoplastic drops remain unclear because yielding, elastic deformation, and viscous dissipation…

Compaction in a deformable porous cylinder with elastic boundaries

Richard Mcnair, Kerstin Schirrmann, Anne Juel +1

Perfusion of soft materials such as biological tissue or hydrogels is essential for the functioning of organ and laboratory systems such as chromatographic columns and bioreactors.…

Sub-Yield Dynamics in Yield-Stress Materials

Alice Woodbridge, Kasra Amini, Fredrik Lundell +4

The mechanical response of yield-stress materials below the yield point remains a subject of debate. Two of the most widely used constitutive models for these materials offer funda…

Network modelling of yield-stress fluid flow in randomly disordered porous media

Cláudio P. Fonte, Elliott Sutton, Kohei Ohie +3

Yield-stress fluid flow through porous media is governed by a strong coupling between rheology and pore-scale geometry, leading to nonlinear, non-Darcy transport and pronounced cha…

Predicting the distribution of yield-stress fluids in branched pipe manifolds

Elliott Sutton, Waldo Rosales Trujillo, Adam Kowalski +2

We develop a one-dimensional network model to predict the steady-state distribution of yield-stress fluids in branched pipe manifolds under wall-slip conditions. The model accounts…
