Microchannel flow of a shear-banding fluid: enhanced confinement effect and interfacial instability

P. Nghe, S. M. Fielding, P. Tabeling, A. Ajdari

英文摘要：

Using a micro particle imaging velocity technique, we resolve for the first time the three dimensionnal structure of wormlike shear banding flows in straight microchannels. The study revealed two effects, which should be generic for shear banding flows: the first is a strong amplification of the confinement induced by the edge of the channel, the second is an instability of the interface between the shear bands. A detailed quantitative comparison of our experimental measurements with a theoretical study of the diffusive Johnson Segalman model leads to excellent agreement. Our study clarifies the nature of shear banding flow instabilities, and shows that, despite the challenging complexity of the situation and the uncertainty regarding their molecular structure, shear banding flows in confined geometries are amenable to quantitative modelling, a feature that opens pathways to their practical utilization.

Shear banding and interfacial instability in planar Poiseuille flow

Motivated by the need for a theoretical study in a planar geometry that can easily be implemented experimentally, we study the pressure driven Poiseuille flow of a shear banding fluid. After discussing the "basic states" predicted by a one dimensional calculation that assumes a flat interface between the bands, we proceed to demonstrate such an interface to be unstable with respect to the growth of undulations along it. We give results for the growth rate and wavevector of the most unstable mode that grows initially, as well as for the ultimate flow patterns to which the instability leads. We …

Nonlinear dynamics of a shear banding interface

We study numerically the nonlinear dynamics of a shear banding interface in two dimensional planar shear flow, within the non-local Johnson Segalman model. Consistent with a recent linear stability analysis, we find that an initially flat interface is unstable with respect to small undulations for sufficiently small ratio of the interfacial width $\ell$ to cell length $L_x$. The instability saturates in finite amplitude interfacial fluctuations. For decreasing $\ell/L_x$ these undergo a non equilibrium transition from simple travelling interfacial waves with constant average wall stress, to pe…

Taylor-like vortices in the shear-banding flow of giant micelles

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 stacked along the vorticity direction develop concomitantly with interfacial undulations. These cellular structures are mainly localized in the induced band and their dynamics is fully correlated with that of the interface. As the control parameter increases, we observe a transition from a steady vortex flow to a state where pairs of vortices are continuously created and destroyed. Normal stress effects are discussed as …

Flow phase diagrams for concentration-coupled shear banding

After surveying the experimental evidence for concentration coupling in the shear banding of wormlike micellar surfactant solutions, we present flow phase diagrams spanned by shear stress (or strain-rate) and concentration in the two-fluid, non-local Johnson-Segalman (d-JS-phi) model. We also present macroscopic flow curves for a range of (average) concentrations. For any concentration high enough to give shear banding, the flow curve shows the usual non-analytic kink at the onset of banding, followed by a coexistence ``plateau'' that slopes upwards. As the concentration is reduced, the width …

Viscoelastic Taylor-Couette instability of shear banded flow

We study numerically shear banded flow in planar and curved Couette geometries. Our aim is to explain two recent observations in shear banding systems of roll cells stacked in the vorticity direction, associated with an undulation of the interface between the bands. Depending on the degree of cell curvature and on the material's constitutive properties, we find either (i) an instability of the interface between the bands driven by a jump in second normal stress across it; or (ii) a bulk viscoelastic Taylor Couette instability in the high shear band driven by a large first normal stress within …

Modelling double emulsion formation in planar flow-focusing microchannels

Double emulsion formation in a hierarchical flow-focusing channel is systematically investigated using a free energy ternary lattice Boltzmann model. A three dimensional formation regime diagram is constructed based on the capillary numbers of the inner ($Ca_i$), middle ($Ca_m$) and outer ($Ca_o$) phase fluids. The results show that the formation diagram can be classified into periodic two-step region, periodic one-step region, and non-periodic region. By varying $Ca_i$ and $Ca_m$ in the two-step formation region, different morphologies are obtained, including the regular double emulsions, dec…

Electrically Modulated Thin Film Dynamics Controlling Bubble Manipulation in Microfluidic Confinement

Thin film dynamics and associated instability mechanisms have triggered a wide range of scientific innovations, as attributed to their abilities of creating fascinating patterns over small scales. Here, we demonstrate a new thin film instability phenomenon governed by electro-mechanics and hydrodynamics over interfacial scales in a narrow fluidic confinement. We first bring out the essential physics of this instability mechanism, in consideration with the fact that under the action of axial electrical field in a confined microfluidic environment, perturbations may be induced on the interfaces …

Low Friction Flows of Liquids at Nanopatterned Interfaces

With the recent important development of microfluidic systems, miniaturization of flow devices has become a real challenge. Microchannels, however, are characterized by a large surface to volume ratio, so that surface properties strongly affect flow resistance in submicrometric devices. We present here results showing that the concerted effect of wetting . properties and surface roughness may considerably reduce friction of the fluid past the boundaries. The slippage of the fluid at the channel boundaries is shown to be drastically increased by using surfaces that are patterned at the nanomete…

Stochastic Rotation Dynamics simulations of wetting multi-phase flows

Multi-color Stochastic Rotation Dynamics (SRDmc) has been introduced by Inoue et al. as a particle based simulation method to study the flow of emulsion droplets in non-wetting microchannels. In this work, we extend the multi-color method to also account for different wetting conditions. This is achieved by assigning the color information not only to fluid particles but also to virtual wall particles that are required to enforce proper no-slip boundary conditions. To extend the scope of the original SRDmc algorithm to e.g. immiscible two-phase flow with viscosity contrast we implement an angul…
