The Inertio-Elastic Planar Entry Flow of Low-Viscosity Elastic Fluids in Micro-fabricated Geometries
(2004-12-17)
The non-Newtonian flow of dilute aqueous polyethylene oxide (PEO) solutions through
microfabricated planar abrupt contraction-expansions is investigated. The contraction
geometries are fabricated from a high-resolution ...
Capillary Break-up Rheometry of Low-Viscosity Elastic Fluids
(2004-11-01)
We investigate the dynamics of the capillary thinning and break-up process for low viscosity
elastic fluids such as dilute polymer solutions. Standard measurements of the evolution of the
midpoint diameter of the necking ...
