We investigate the structure and dynamics of the interface between
two immiscible liquids in a three-dimensional disordered porous
medium. We apply a phase-field model that includes explicitly
disorder and discuss both spontaneous and forced imbibition.
The structure of the interface is dominated by a length scale
ξ× which arises from liquid conservation. We further show
that disorder in the capillary and permeability act on different
length scales and give rise to different scalings and
structures of the interface properties. We conclude with a
range of applications. 相似文献

We conduct rheological characterization of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) suspensions, a highly non-Newtonian complex fluid, at several concentrations. Special care is taken to cope with the prevalent problems of time scale issues, wall depletion and confinement effects. We do this by combining the wide-gap vane geometry, extremely long measurement times, and modeling. We take into account the wide-gap related stress heterogeneity by extending upon mainstream methods and apply a gap correction. Furthermore, we rationalize the experimental data through a simple viscous structural model. With these tools we find that, owing to the small size of the particles subjected to Brownian motion, the NFC suspensions exhibit a critical shear rate, where the flow curve experiences a turning point. This makes the steady state of these suspensions at low shear rates non-unique. To optimize various mixing and pumping applications, such history dependent tendency of NFC suspensions to shear band needs to be taken into account. 相似文献

The influence of swelling on the rheological and dewatering properties of high consistency nanocellulose based furnishes is considered. Different consistencies of suspensions (1–4 %) and furnishes (5–15 %) were prepared made of two distinctly different grades of nanocellulose containing, micro fibrillated (MFC) and nanofibrillated (NFC) cellulose, and systematic comparison between the rheological and dewatering parameters was conducted. The characterization of the rheological and dewatering properties was performed with a stress controlled rheometer combined with an immobilization cell in parallel plate geometry, as well as with an independent gravimetric dewatering device. The surface charge of nanofibrillated cellulose was found to influence the rheological and dewatering properties of the evaluated suspensions and furnishes due to its impact on swelling and effectively bound water. Due to the complex behavior of the novel materials, the immobilization times were difficult to determine from the changes in the damping factor, as often used for coating colors. Instead, we propose a modified method for determination of immobilization times based on a rheological analysis adopting the rate of change in viscoelastic loss factor over time, d(tan δ = G′′/G′)/dt, describing the critical point(s) in the ratio of the viscous to elastic stress response moduli. With this approach we show that it is possible to characterize immobilization of these materials incorporating the concept of the combined physical interactions of the components and the non-removable bound water, without requiring a direct measure of the nanocellulose surface swelling. Based on the results, we hypothesize that fibrillar swelling impacts the dewatering of MFC and NFC suspensions, and furnishes containing them, by an interfiber pore connectivity blocking/sealing mechanism, which effectively defines the immobilization of the material matrix at the end point of free water extraction caused by the physical blocking imposed by the remaining bound water. 相似文献

Interfaces moving in a disordered medium exhibit stochastic velocity fluctuations obeying universal scaling relations related to the presence or absence of conservation laws. For fluid invasion of porous media, we show that the fluctuations of the velocity are governed by a geometry-dependent length scale arising from fluid conservation. This result is compared to the statistics resulting from a nonequilibrium (depinning) transition between a moving interface and a stationary, pinned one. 相似文献

Plastic deformation is a paradigmatic problem of multiscale materials modelling with relevant processes ranging from the atomistic scale up to macroscopic scales where deformation is treated by continuum mechanics. Recent experiments, investigating deformation fluctuations under conditions where plastic deformation was expected to occur in a smooth and stable manner, demonstrate that deformation is spatially heterogeneous and temporally intermittent, not only on atomic scales, where spatial heterogeneity is expected, but also on mesoscopic scales where plastic fluctuations involve collective events of widely different amplitudes. Evidence for crackling noise in plastic deformation comes from acoustic emission measurements and from deformation of micron-scale samples both in crystalline and amorphous materials. Here we provide a detailed account of our current understanding of crackling noise in crystal and amorphous plasticity stemming from experiments, computational models and scaling theories. We focus our attention on the scaling properties of plastic strain bursts and their interpretation in terms of non-equilibrium critical phenomena. 相似文献

The rheology of nanofiber suspensions is studied solving numerically the Population Balance Equations (PBE). To account for
the anisotropic nature of nanofibers, a relation is proposed for their hydrodynamic volume. The suspension viscosity is calculated
using the computed aggregate size distributions together with the Krieger-Dougherty constitutive equation. The model is fitted
to experimental flow curves for Carbon NanoFibers (CNF) and for NanoFibrillated Cellulose (NFC), giving a first estimation
of the microscopic anisotropy parameter, and yielding information on the structural properties and rheology of each system. 相似文献
