Journal ArticleDOI
Rheology of human blood plasma: viscoelastic versus Newtonian behavior.
Mathias Brust,Christof Schaefer,R. Doerr,Lichao Pan,Mike Garcia,Paulo E. Arratia,Christian Wagner +6 more
TL;DR: This work finds a viscoelastic behavior of blood plasma in the pure extensional flow of a capillary breakup rheometer, and shows that the vis coelastic properties of plasma should not be ignored in future studies on blood flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear elastic instability in channel flows at low Reynolds numbers.
TL;DR: Experimental evidence that flows of viscoelastic polymer solutions in geometries such as a straight pipe or channel can be nonlinearly unstable and can exhibit a subcritical bifurcation and results suggest that any flow of polymer solutions becomes unstable at sufficiently high flow rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A high-shear, low Reynolds number microfluidic rheometer
Lichao Pan,Paulo E. Arratia +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a PDMS-based microfluidic rheometer is used to measure the viscosity of liquids at low Reynolds number, which is measured in a long straight channel using a channel layer and a sensing membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring material relaxation and creep recovery in a microfluidic device
TL;DR: A novel method of testing creep recovery in a microfluidic device that allows for the measurement of relaxation time of fluids at low strain and is consistent with data obtained in a macroscopic rheometer and with a viscoelastic constitutive model.
