ABSTRACTWe have used small angle neutron scattering (SANS) to study solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium 2,6-dichlorobenzoate (2,6) at rest and as a function of shear. These solutions are Newtonian, and up to a concentration of at least 100mM contain spherical micelles. Comparison with viscoelastic solutions of the closely related, and much studied, cetyltrimethylammonium 3,5-dichlorobenzoate (3,5) is made. While spheres are not expected to align under shear, a shear induced sphere to rod transition has been postulated for this system. In the results presented here, no shear induced sphere to rod transition was observed even at the highest accessible shear rate. Addition of sufficient supporting electrolyte (up to 1M NaCl) does cause such a transition in the quiescent solution. Hoffmann et al. have seen what they refer to as the formation of a shear induced structure (SIS or type II micelles) on similar systems where short rods form in the absence of supporting electrolyte. Shearing of the salted system produces rapid though not spectacular alignment, with no evidence of a SIS forming.

The influence of the history of the shear rate on generation of shear hardening phenomenon of wormlike micelles aqueous solutions was investigated. An accelerated shear flow was applied to change the shear rate history and the influence of an acceleration rate on the time evolution behavior of the shear stress was observed. The relationship between the strain and the shear stress is given by one curve that is independent of a history of shear rate if the shear rate or the accelerated shear coefficient is higher than a certain critical value. A very high shear rate flow can be caused without the shear hardening by using the slowly accelerated shear flow but the SIS is generated if the shear rate in the moment exceeds the critical shear rate of the SIS formation.

The structure dependence of rheology on a model magnetorheological fluid is investigated experimentally. We find that the column-dominated structure formed under slow ramping of the magnetic field has higher dynamic yield stress than the "bent-wall" dominated structure formed under the fast ramping field. The measurement of the shear rate loop under fast ramping shows an abnormal rheological hysteresis. It indicates a shear assisted structural transition from the "bent-wall" dominated structure to a more stable structure. A possible shear-induced structure with circular stripes is suggested.

Rheological properties of mixtures of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), a nonionic associative cellulose ether, and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), an anionic surfactant, were investigated by viscosity measurements performed at different shear rates (0.1-6000 s-1). HPMC/SDS mixtures containing different concentrations of SDS (CSDS=0.00-3.50 % w/w) and HPMC concentrations which corresponded to the overlap parameter c/c*=3, 6, and 12 were prepared. All HPMC/SDS mixtures were found to be shear-thinning when examined in a low-end-to mid-range of the applied shear rates. The degree of shear-thinning, n, and viscosity of the mixtures were influenced by composition of HPMC/SDS mixtures and HPMC-SDS complex formation. The changes in n ranged from values typical for highly shear thinning to almost perfectly Newtonian liquids, and were more pronounced as c/c* was increased from 3 to 6 and 12. A change in flow profile and a buildup of the first normal stress difference (N1) was observed in HPMC/SDS mixtures with c/c*=6 and 12 and CSDS 0.55-1.00 % and 0.55-2.50 %, respectively, when a critical shear rate, crit. was exceeded, suggesting that a shear-induced structure formation in the mixtures took place.

An experimental study is performed to investigate the effects of the extensional rheological properties of drag-reducing wormlike micellar solutions on the vortex deformation and turbulence statistics in two-dimensional (2-D) turbulent flow. A self-standing 2-D turbulent flow was used as the experimental set-up, and the flow was observed through interference pattern monitoring and particle image velocimetry. Vortex shedding and turbulence statistics in the flow were affected by the formation of wormlike micelles and were enhanced by increasing the molar ratio of the counter-ion supplier to the surfactant, ξ, or by applying extensional stresses to the solution. In the 2-D turbulent flow, extensional and shear rates were applied to the fluids around a comb of equally spaced cylinders. This induced the formation of a structure made of wormlike micelles just behind the cylinder. The flow-induced structure influenced the velocity fields around the comb and the turbulence statistics. A characteristic increase in turbulent energy was observed, which decreased slowly downstream. The results implied that the characteristic modification of the 2-D turbulent flow of the drag-reducing surfactant solution was affected by the formation and slow relaxation of the flow-induced structure. The relaxation process of the flow-induced structure made of wormlike micelles was very different from that of the polymers.
