Even in simple geometries, many complex fluids display nontrivial flow fields, with regions
where shear is concentrated. The possibility for such shear banding has been known for …

In this review, we tried to qualify different types and mechanisms of wall slip phenomenon,
paying particular attention to the most recent publications and issues. The review covers all …

Wormlike micelles are elongated flexible self-assembled structures created from the
aggregation of amphiphiles and their resulting dynamic networks have gained attention for a …

We describe a technique coupling standard rheology and ultrasonic imaging with promising
applications to characterization of soft materials under shear. Plane wave imaging using an …

Shear-banding is ubiquitous in complex fluids. It is related to the organization of the flow into
macroscopic bands bearing different viscosities and local shear rates and stacked along the …

We have investigated the uniaxial elongation behavior of six different wormlike micelle
systems covering a broad range of surfactant concentrations cs and salt/surfactant ratios R …

The unsteady sedimentation of a sphere in wormlike micellar fluids is studied experimentally
through shear and extensional rheometry, sphere trajectory tracking, and particle image …

We construct a microstructure-based constitutive model that successfully predicts
experimental rheology signatures that no other model has previously described. The …

Over the last few decades, much focus has been given to investigating the reversible
rheological behavior of thixotropic materials, but the description of the rheology of materials …

Aqueous micellar solutions of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)
and organic hydrotropic salt 3-hydroxy naphthalene-2-carboxylate (SHNC) in the semidilute …
