Yield stress fluids are often thought about in a piecewise manner as behaving like elastic solids below the yield stress and like generalized Newtonian liquids above it. Accurate determination of the yield stress is therefore crucial to understanding and predicting the behaviour of yield stress fluids such as inks for 3D printing, foods and cosmetics, muds and soils, and many... -

Sludge rheology is important for the design and operation of sludge treatment processes in terms of process optimisation and maintenance cost reduction. Sludge rheology has a significant impact on the performance of pumps, anaerobic digesters, dewaterability equipment, mixers, and heat exchangers.
A large portion of the total energy consumption in any sludge treatment plants... -

Abstract:
Viscoelastic and dielectric properties of type-A chains differently average the same chain
dynamics, so that comparison of those properties resolves some details of this dynamics in a purely experimental way. Some examples of this comparison are presented in the talk.Bio:

For next-generation electronics systems and devices, such as flexible displays and energy harvesting (or storage) devices, high performance, versatility, and flexibility are frequently necessary. A film, which is often a polymer or soft substrate with numerous layers of electrically conductive, semiconducting, and insulating materials superimposed on it, is a key component of... -

Radial displacement flows of viscoplastic fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell can give rise to a range of instabilities. Theoretically, the viscoplastic version of the Saffman-Taylor interfacial instability [1] is predicted to occur when the yield-stress fluid is displaced by a Newtonian one. The interface is expected to remain stable, however, if the yield-stress fluid displaces the... -

Abstract:
In classical wetting, the spreading of an emulsion drop on a surface is preceded by the formation of a bridge connecting the drop and the surface across the sandwiched film of the suspending medium. However, this widely accepted mechanism ignores the finite solubility of the drop phase in the medium. We present experimental evidence of a new wetting mechanism, whereby the drop...
