To reveal the theoretical relationship between the structural parameters of coal and the nonlinear seepage characteristics, firstly, the Bingham fluid constitutive equation is used to describe the non-Newtonian behavior in low-permeability coal. Combined with the fractal tree-like bifurcation fracture network model, a mathematical analytical model of threshold pressure gradient is established.

In the present work, we have theoretically extended the classic Richards equation to viscoplastic fluids obeying the Bingham model using the concept of the effective viscosity together with the bundle-of-tube model. The new imbibition model could partly resolve the discrepancy reported in the literature between the predictions of the classic Richards equation for the stain growth of sessile blood droplets in a typical filter paper. A better fit, however, requires considering other non-Newtonian effects of the blood such as its viscoelasticity. Using the Bingham-modified Richards equation, it is demonstrated that yield stress in a test fluid has a retarding effect on the imbibition phenomenon, so that such fluids may not necessarily reach the test line of a paper-based diagnostic kit. But yield stress is predicted to extend the duration of the quasi-steady regime on the test line of diagnostic kits, which is a desirable effect.

This work is facilitated by the discovery that constant velocity applied at early times leads to initial constant extension rate before reaching the Rayleigh–Plateau instability. Such constant rate experiments are used to correlate initial stretching kinematics with the thinning dynamics in the final thinning regime. We show that there is a minimum initial strain-rate required to induce rate independent elastic effects, and measure the longest relaxation time of the material. Below the minimum extension rate, insufficient stretching of the chain is observed before capillary instability, such that the polymer stress is comparable to the capillary stress at long times and stress relaxation is not achieved. Above the minimum strain-rate, the chain reaches a critical stretch before instability, such that during the unstable filament thinning the polymer stress is significantly larger than the capillary stress and rate-independent stress relaxation is observed. Using a single relaxation mode FENE model, we show that the minimum strain rate leads to a required initial stretch of the chain before reaching the Rayleigh–Plateau limit. These results indicate that the chain conformation before entering the Rayleigh Instability Regime, and the stretching induced during the instability, determines the elastic behavior of the filament. Lastly, this work introduces a characteristic dimensionless group, called the stretchability factor, that can be used to quantitatively compare different materials based on the overall material deformation/kinematic behavior, not just the relaxation time. Overall, these results demonstrate a useful methodology to study the stretching of dilute solutions using a constant velocity stretching scheme.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54782,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 105321"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037702572400137X/pdfft?md5=d1f32f9cee619f02d115117fa2418228&pid=1-s2.0-S037702572400137X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142315745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this challenge, we propose a modified GNF model that integrates an objective flow-type parameter, aiming to refine flow characterization. Emphasis is placed on defining the flow-type parameter to be able to transcend viscometric flows, remain frame-indifferent, quantify deformation magnitude, and differentiate between diverse flow modes.

However, Boger fluids, conventionally formulated as dilute solutions of high molecular weight (M_w) polymers in relatively high viscosity solvents (or solutions of oligomers or lower M_w polymer), are unsuitable for emulating polymeric fluids used in coating formulations that are lower in viscosity, appear inelastic in torsional shear rheometry, and yet appear prone to viscoelastic instabilities. Therefore, Dontula, Macosko, and Scriven (DMS) (AIChE J, 1998) chose to create an alternative model of elastic fluids by dissolving ultrahigh molecular weight (UHM_w) poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in an aqueous solution of its lower M_w analog, often referred to as poly(ethylene glycol) or PEG. Even though numerous studies of printing and coating flow instabilities use this aqueous PEO/PEG or DMS Boger fluids as model viscoelastic fluids, only a few explicitly measured elastic properties, especially using relaxation time, and hardly any characterized extensional rheology. In this contribution, we recreate the DMS Boger fluids to examine their elasticity and extensional rheology response using dripping-onto-substrate (DoS) rheometry that relies on an analysis of capillarity-driven pinching dynamics. Though the aqueous PEG solution is often treated as a viscous and Newtonian solvent, we discover that in DoS rheometry, both the PEG solution and the DMS Boger fluid display power law response followed by elastocapillary, in contradiction with the assumptions and the response expected of the Oldroyd-B model. Furthermore, the solution of entangled PEG chains influences specific viscosity, pinching dynamics, and measured extensional rheology response in striking contrast with Newtonian solvents of the same viscosity. Lastly, we describe the possibility of using dilute, aqueous solutions of UHM_w PEO as model viscoelastic fluids for coating flows, for both elasticity and extensional viscosity can be determined using DoS rheometry. Due to their water-like viscosity, the aqueous PEO solutions appeal as model fluids that have elasticity, emulate Newtonian fluids in the early stages of pinching, and have a relaxation time tunable by changing polymer M_w or concentration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54782,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 105319"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142322462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
