Wormlike micelles are elongated flexible self-assembly structures formed by the aggregation
of amphiphiles. Above a threshold concentration, they entangle into a dynamic network …

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 …

In this paper, we investigate the rheological behavior of jammed emulsions in
microchannels on the basis of microvelocimetry techniques. We demonstrate that velocity …

An analysis of the yielding and flow behavior of a model yield-stress fluid, 0.2 wt% Carbopol
gel, in a capillary with slip at the wall has been carried out in the present work. For this, a …

The flow curve of wormlike micelles usually exhibits a stress plateau σ⋆ separating high and
low viscosity branches, leading to shear-banded flows. We study the flow of semidilute …

We explore the behavior of a wormlike micellar solution under both steady and large
amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) in a cone–plate geometry through simultaneous bulk …

The widespread use of wormlike micellar solutions is commonly found in household items
such as cosmetic products, industrial fluids used in enhanced oil recovery and as drag …

In this paper, a set of constitutive relationships arising from the coupling of stress with
concentration, are derived using the extended irreversible thermodynamics formalism. In …

Different types of regular and irregular self-organized structures observed in deformation of
colloid and polymer substances (“complex fluids”) are discussed and classified. This review …

Non-Newtonian fluids are susceptible to flow instabilities such as shear banding, in which
the fluid may exhibit a markedly discontinuous viscosity at a critical stress. Here we report …
