Slippery flows of a Carbopol gel in a micro-channel
Eliane Younes, Cathy Castelain, Volfango Bertola +1
The ability to predict and/or control wall slip is a fundamental problem in the hydrodynamics of yield stress fluids, which is poorly understood to date and has important applicati…
Chaos in a melting pot
Rawad Himo, Cathy Castelain, Teodor Burghelea
A novel flow instability emerging during a rheometric flow of a phase change material sheared in the vicinity of the solid-fluid transition is reported. Right above the onset of th…
Microscopic flows of suspensions of the green non-motile Chlorella micro-alga at various volume fractions: applications to intensified photo bio reactors
Soulies Antoine, Jeremy Pruvost, Cathy Castelain +1
An experimental study of flows of the green non-motile Chlorella micro-alga in a plane microchannel is presented. Depending on the value of the cell volume fraction, three distinct…
Unsteady laminar pipe flow of a Carbopol gel. Part I: experiment
Antoine Poumaere, Miguel Moyers-Gonzalez, Cathy Castelain +1
A experimental study of low Reynolds numbers unsteady pipe flows of a yield stress shear thinning fluid (Carbopol- 980) is presented. The investigation of the solid-fluid transitio…
