In this review, we report recent developments on the shear-induced transitions and
instabilities found in surfactant wormlike micelles. The survey focuses on the nonlinear …

Recent experimental techniques used to investigate shear banding are reviewed. After
recalling the rheological signature of shear-banded flows, we summarize the various tools …

High-Pressure Rheology for Quantitative Elastohydrodynamics, Second Edition, contains
updated sections on scaling laws and thermal effects, including new sections on the …

Nonlinear shear and extensional flow dynamics of a wormlike micellar solution based on
erucyl bis (2-hydroxyethyl) methyl ammonium chloride (EHAC) are reported here. The …

We present the first combined study of spatially resolved structure and shear rheology for a
model shear banding fluid comprised of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide wormlike …

A series of experiments were performed to further investigate the phenomenon of shear-
banding in surfactant solutions. Many surfactant solutions, through their unique amphiphilic …

Wormlike micellar surfactant solutions are encountered in a wide variety of important
applications, including enhanced oil recovery and ink-jet printing, in which the fluids are …

We employ time-resolved flow velocimetry and birefringence imaging methods to study the
flow of a well-characterized shear-banding wormlike micellar solution around a novel glass …

A filament stretching extensional rheometer and capillary breakup extensional rheometer
are used to measure the extensional rheology of a series of wormlike micelle solutions …

Flow around a cylinder is a classical problem in fluid dynamics and also one of the
benchmarks for testing viscoelastic flows. The problem is of wide relevance to …
