Structure-property relationship of a soft colloidal glass in simple and mixed flows

V Calabrese, S Varchanis, SJ Haward… - Journal of Colloid and …, 2021 - Elsevier
Hypothesis Under specific conditions, rod-like cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) can assemble
into structurally ordered soft glasses (SGs) with anisotropy that can be controlled by applying …

The concept of elasto-visco-plasticity and its application to a bubble rising in yield stress fluids

P Moschopoulos, A Spyridakis, S Varchanis… - Journal of Non …, 2021 - Elsevier
Based on the original ideas by Oldroyd in 1947, Saramito in 2007 introduced a generally
acceptable model for yield stress fluids that also accounts for their elasticity. We use this …

Hydrodynamic interaction between coaxially rising bubbles in elastoviscoplastic materials: Equal bubbles

A Kordalis, D Pema, S Androulakis, Y Dimakopoulos… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
We consider the buoyancy-driven rise and interaction between two coaxially placed bubbles
of equal size and constant volume that are initially stationary inside an elastoviscoplastic …

Dry granular column collapse: Numerical simulations using the partially regularized μ (I)-model via stabilized finite elements and phase field formulation

A Balachtsis, Y Dimakopoulos… - International Journal of …, 2025 - Elsevier
We revisit the gravitational collapse of a 2D column of dry granular material surrounded by

A revisitation of White− Metzner viscoelastic fluids

HC Tseng - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
The famous White–Metzner (WM) constitutive equation expresses a relatively simple
nonlinear viscoelastic fluid of polymer melts. However, such a differential stress model …

Reduced and increased flow resistance in shear-dominated flows of Oldroyd-B fluids

S Varchanis, J Tsamopoulos, AQ Shen… - Journal of Non …, 2022 - Elsevier
We present a comprehensive analytical and numerical study of shear-dominated flows of
Oldroyd-B fluids. Starting from transient ideal Couette flow, we show that less work is …
