Book Transient Dynamics of Concentrated Particulate Suspensions Under Shear

Download or read book Transient Dynamics of Concentrated Particulate Suspensions Under Shear written by Endao Han and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis demonstrates the first use of high-speed ultrasound imaging to non-invasively probe how the interior of a dense suspension responds to impact. Suspensions of small solid particles in a simple liquid can generate a rich set of dynamic phenomena that are of fundamental scientific interest because they do not conform to the typical behavior expected of either solids or liquids. Most remarkable is the highly counter-intuitive ability of concentrated suspensions to strongly thicken and even solidify when sheared or impacted. The understanding of the mechanism driving this solidification is, however, still limited, especially for the important transient stage while the response develops as a function of time. In this thesis, high-speed ultrasound imaging is introduced to track, for the first time, the transition from the flowing to the solidified state and directly observe the shock-like shear fronts that accompany this transition. A model is developed that agrees quantitatively with the experimental measurements. The combination of imaging techniques, experimental design, and modeling in this thesis represents a major breakthrough for the understanding of the dynamic response of dense suspensions, with important implications for a wide range of applications ranging from the handling of slurries to additive manufacturing.

Book Dynamics and Rheology of Particulate Suspensions Undergoing Steady and Unsteady Shear Flows

Download or read book Dynamics and Rheology of Particulate Suspensions Undergoing Steady and Unsteady Shear Flows written by Hyun-Ok Park and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secondly, the stability and rheology of the single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) suspensions prepared by interfacial trapping method is examined and compared to a conventional method of ultracentrifugation. Since the rheological properties are sensitive to the suspension microstructure, the change of rheological properties, such as viscosity, can be employed as a systematic standard of stability. The steady shear viscosities have been measured and compared as a function of shear rate and aging time of the suspension. Also, the visual states of the suspension have been observed. The rheology of the SWNT suspensions depends on the preparation of surfactant solution. Also, the interfacial trapping method generated similar behaviors to the SWNT suspension prepared by the ultracentrifugation method. Finally, the dynamics of non-colloidal spheres in oscillatory shear flow is studied by experiment and simulation. Two distinct scales are observed for the development of the rheology in time. At small total strains, a rapid decay of ... is observed, while ... and ... remain constant. However, the evolution of the complex viscosity is observed over large total strains, indicating microstructural changes over long times. Also, this suspension system shows a non-monotonic dependence of viscosity on strain amplitude. Stokesian dynamics simulations are used to correlate the rheology and microstructures.

Book Particles in Oscillatory Flows

Download or read book Particles in Oscillatory Flows written by Peter Alexander Hope and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document describes an experimental investigation of two different particle systems under conditions of oscillatory flow. The 1st system being concentrated suspensions of non-motile particles and the 2nd system being dilute suspensions of swimming algae. This document focuses on the study of the jamming of concentrated suspensions of particles (primarily in oscillatory flows), and the response of swimming algae to oscillatory shear flows. The flow characteristics of concentrated colloidal and granular suspensions are known to display a variety of interesting flow characteristics such as shear thinning and discontinuous shear thickening. These depend on a wide range of parameters such as concentration, particle size, rate of deformation and many more. During the flow of concentrated suspensions, they can change from behaving like a fluid and flowing to behaving like a solid which can fracture or yield. Many aspects of this transition are still not understood. This phenomenon has important applications in process flow of slurries, the development of light weight bullet proof vests and as a dampening fluid within vehicle suspensions. This thesis shows that when concentrated colloidal and granular suspensions are subjected to oscillatory squeeze film flow, they display reversible local flow field distortions and macroscopic shape changes which are likely related to jamming. It highlights a range of unreported behaviours of suspensions in oscillatory squeeze film flows. This document also provides rheological data on the discontinuous shear thickening and jamming of a wide variety of different suspensions in both continuous and oscillatory shear flows. Swimming micro-organisms are currently used in a wide variety of health and cosmetic products. They are also being researched for use in the production of biodiesel. Swimming algae are grown within photo-bioreactors where their swimming characteristics can have a major impact on the reactors overall efficiency. Additionally a major issue in the production of swimming algae is the need for them to be concentrated using centrifugation which is energy intensive. This thesis shows that in oscillatory shear flows, gravitactic swimming algae can order their swimming directions in the vorticity directions of the oscillating flow field. This has potential applications in the development of a method to encourage micro-swimmers to self-concentrate. Suggestions of other investigations into the ordering behaviour of swimming micro-organisms are also provided. This document also displays a unique and cheap method for applying oscillatory squeeze film flows while allowing samples to be viewed underneath a microscope. It also makes suggestions on how this method could be enhanced. This device has applications in carrying out squeeze film tests to examine the rheological properties of fluids.

Book Origin of Shear induced Diffusion in Particulate Suspensions

Download or read book Origin of Shear induced Diffusion in Particulate Suspensions written by Phong Ngoc Pham and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even at low Reynolds number, particles within a shear flow exhibit irreversible dynamics. Many theories have been put forth to explain this phenomenon, the origin of irreversibility remains unclear. An integrated program of experimental and computational studies has been performed to assess the origin of the irreversible behavior of particles. Numerical simulations were used to evaluated the relative importance of long-range hydrodynamic interactions, lubrication, and contact forces. By isolating contribution of these interactions, we have shown that neither the long-range hydrodynamic interactions nor the lubrication are responsible for irreversibility. Solid contacts between particles largely dominate this phenomenon. However, producing realistic results requires both contact interactions and lubrication. Two different experiments were performed to address the role of contacts between particles in sheared suspensions. In the first experiment, the particle trajectories are irreversible during the first cycle but reversible for the next cycles. By showing that the magnitude of irreversibility increases with the particle roughness, we provide direct evidence that contacts occur in viscous flow. Experimental particle trajectories are well captured by the numerical model. In the second experiment, performed in a homogeneous suspension, the role of solid collisions was also revealed by showing that the critical strain amplitude depends on the particle roughness. A geometrical model based on the assumption that colliding particles produce irreversibility was derived. The model successfully reproduces the measured values of the critical strain amplitude.
