TLDR
The results show that the yield strain of the material governs the transition dynamics from the solid state to the liquid state, and identify a simple scaling law that enables the determination of the elongational yield stress from experimentally measured velocity fields.Abstract:
We report experimental microfluidic measurements and theoretical modeling of elastoviscoplastic materials under steady, planar elongation. Employing a theory that allows the solid state to deform, we predict the yielding and flow dynamics of such complex materials in pure extensional flows. We find a significant deviation of the ratio of the elongational to the shear yield stress from the standard value predicted by ideal viscoplastic theory, which is attributed to the normal stresses that develop in the solid state prior to yielding. Our results show that the yield strain of the material governs the transition dynamics from the solid state to the liquid state. Finally, given the difficulties of quantifying the stress field in such materials under elongational flow conditions, we identify a simple scaling law that enables the determination of the elongational yield stress from experimentally measured velocity fields.read more

Optimized Cross-Slot Flow Geometry for Microfluidic Extensional Rheometry
TL;DR: Birefringence and bulk pressure drop measurements provide self-consistent estimates of the planar extensional viscosity of the fluid over a wide range of deformation rates and are in close agreement with numerical simulations performed by using a finitely extensible nonlinear elastic dumbbell model.

TL;DR: The proposed model has been verified for the adequate description of the rheological behavior of suspensions, introducing a scalar variable that describes dynamically the level of internal microstructure of rouleaux at any instance, capturing accurately the aggregation and disaggregation mechanisms of the RBCs.

PEGAFEM-V: A new petrov-galerkin finite element method for free surface viscoelastic flows
TL;DR: In this article, the Petrov-Galerkinetic finite element (FE) formulation for viscoelastic flows is extended to free surface flows, which allows the use of equal order linear interpolants for all variables and simultaneously does not suffer from high Weissenberg number problem.

Jamming, Force Chains, and Fragile Matter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider materials whose mechanical integrity is the result of a jamming process and argue that such media are generically ''fragile'' unable to support certain types of incremental loading without plastic rearrangement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss disordered materials that only flow if the imposed stress is beyond a certain threshold value, such as whipped cream, toothpaste, cement, ketchup, and mayonnaise.

Yielding to Stress: Recent Developments in Viscoplastic Fluid Mechanics
TL;DR: The most common idealization of a viscoplastic fluid is the Bingham model, which has been widely used to rationalize experimental data, even though it is a crude oversimplification of true rheological behavior.

A new outflow boundary condition
TL;DR: In this paper, a new outflow boundary condition, called the f?ee boundary condition is introduced and tested for two flow and heat transfer model problems, which is equivalent to extending the validity of the weak form of the governing equations to the synthetic outflow instead of replacing them there with unknown essential or natural boundary conditions.
