The paper presents a numerical simulation for the isothermal flow-induced crystallization of polyethylene under a simple shear flow. The effect of flow on crystllization is considered through the simple mathematical relationship between the additional number of nuclei induced by shear treatment and the first normal stress difference. Leonov viscoelastic model and Avrami model are used to describe the normal stress difference and the crystallization kinetics, respectively. It is found that the short-term shear treatment has a large effect on the crystallization dynamics of polyethylene , but the effect of the intensity of the shear flow is not infinite ,which shows a saturation phenomenon, namely, the accelerated degree of crystallization tending to level off when the shear rate or shear time is large enough.

We present a numerical analysis of the rheology of a dense suspension of spherical capsules in simple shear flow in the Stokes flow regime. The behaviour of neo-Hookean capsules is simulated for a volume fraction up to${\it\phi}=0.4$by graphics processing unit computing based on the boundary element method with a multipole expansion. To describe the specific viscosity using a polynomial equation of the volume fraction, the coefficients of the equation are calculated by least-squares fitting. The results suggest that the effect of higher-order terms is much smaller for capsule suspensions than rigid sphere suspensions; for example,$O({\it\phi}^{3})$terms account for only 8 % of the specific viscosity even at${\it\phi}=0.4$for capillary numbers$Ca\geqslant 0.1$. We also investigate the relationship between the deformation and orientation of the capsules and the suspension rheology. When the volume fraction increases, the deformation of the capsules increases while the orientation angle of the capsules with respect to the flow direction decreases. Therefore, both the specific viscosity and the normal stress difference increase with volume fraction due to the increased deformation, whereas the decreased orientation angle suppresses the specific viscosity, but amplifies the normal stress difference.

The shear flow rheological properties of sugar solutions (70% w/w concentration) modified by different cellulose derivatives have been measured. Thickeners  were expected to cause the viscoelastic behaviour of the resulting sol ution. Therefore, the elastic rheological parameters were measured by oscillatory shear technique (phase angle, elastic modulus) and also the first normal stress difference N<sub>1</sub>. The increase of thickener concen tration caused a moderate increase of non-Newtonian behaviour in the shear flow. The sensory viscosity (ra nged between 0 and 100%) was evaluated by five different methods - as an effort for stirring with teaspoon, time for flowing down the spoon, slurping from spoon, compression between tongue and palate and swallowing. The influence of shear viscosity and first normal difference on sensory viscosity was tested. Correlation procedu re between change of sensory viscosity .tlSE and change of shear viscosity .tlJ.Iz showed that only for swallowing there is a statistically evident de­pendence. The correlation between change of sensory viscosity t.SE and first normal stress difference N<sub>1</sub> is not statistically   evident. For all the methods of sensory evaluation the dependence between these parameters is only weak and indirect (with increasing normal stress difference the sensory viscosity is decreasing).

AbstractWe measure the second normal-stress difference in suspensions of non-Brownian neutrally buoyant rigid spheres dispersed in a Newtonian fluid. We use a method inspired by Wineman & Pipkin (Acta Mechanica, vol. 2, 1966, pp. 104–115) and Tanner (Trans. Soc. Rheol., vol. 14, 1970, pp. 483–507), which relies on the examination of the shape of the suspension free surface in a tilted trough flow. The second normal-stress difference is found to be negative and linear in shear stress. The ratio of the second normal-stress difference to shear stress increases with increasing volume fraction. A clear behavioural change exhibiting a strong (approximately linear) growth in the magnitude of this ratio with volume fraction is seen above a volume fraction of 0.22. By comparing our results with previous data obtained for the same batch of spheres by Boyer, Pouliquen & Guazzeli (J. Fluid Mech., 2011, doi:10.1017/jfm.2011.272), the ratio of the first normal-stress difference to the shear stress is estimated and its magnitude is found to be very small.

In this paper, the effect of traction speed on the four-lumen plastic micro-catheter (FLPMC) was numerically studied. Moreover, the numerical simulations of FLPMC based on two kinds of extrusions, i.e., traditional extrusion and gas-assisted extrusion were performed and compared. Numerical results show that with the increase of traction speed, the sizes of FLPMC for both extrusions all decrease. The sizes of FLPMC based on gas-assisted extrusion are sightly larger than those of the traditional extrusion. To ascertain the reasons, the flow velocities, pressure, shear stress and first normal stress difference distributions of melt based on both extrusions under two different traction speeds were obtained and compared. Results show that with the increase of traction speed under the fixed volume inlet flow rate, the radial flow velocities of melt at the outlet of die decrease but the axial flow velocities increase, which results in the decrease of the die swell at the outlet of die and the size shrinkage of exit face for the FLPMC based on both extrusions. However, for the gas-assisted extrusion, the axial velocities are larger, and the pressure, shear stress and first normal stress difference are far less than those of traditional extrusion, which results in the larger unit volume flow rate, then the sizes of cross-section face are larger than those of the traditional extrusion.

Abstract The rheological behavior of model suspensions with the silicone oil M20000 and different concentrations of Cab-o-sil TS 720 resp. Durcal 5 are compared. The increase of the Cab-o-sil concentration changes the flow behavior of the suspension from shear-thinning, to pseudoplastic, and to plastic flow behavior. The first normal stress difference rises at the same time at certain shear rate. The disperse systems with Durcal 5 keep the structural viscous behavior of the silicone oil even with a filler concentration of 40.5 wt%. The dependence of the first normal stress difference on shear rate represents for suspensions with Durcal 5 only one straight line with a slope of n = 2. The normal stress has double the amount of the silicone oil M20000 at given shear rate and is independent of the used Durcal 5 concentration. It was established that suspensions with the silicone oil M20000 have a first normal stress difference that can, depending on the filler type, either increase (with Cab-o-sil TS 720) or decrease (with Durcal 5) at certain shear stress with increasing filler concentration. It is to be supposed that the decrease of the normal stress at a given shear stress, with increasing Durcal concentration, is a softening effect, caused by the filler.
