Etude expérimentale de l'instabilité de digitation visqueuse de fluides rhéofluidifiants modèles / Experimental study of viscous fingering instability of shear thinning fluid modelsChinaud, Maxime 17 December 2010 (has links)
Ce travail de thèse est consacré à l'étude des instabilités de Saffman-Taylor de fluides complexes modèles. Ces derniers sont des solutions de Xanthane dont le caractère rhéofluidifiant augmente avec la concentration en polymère. Dans un premier temps, nous avons étudié les propriétés rhéologiques de ces fluides modèles puis nous avons caractérisé leurs propriétés d'écoulement dans une cellule de Hele-Shaw de forte épaisseur. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons mesuré par PIV (Particles Image Velocimetry) la distribution du champ de vitesse autour des doigts de Saffman-Taylor pour l'ensemble des fluides étudiés. Afin de valider les expériences de PIV, nous avons caractérisé les vitesses de sédimentation des traceurs, par la technique complémentaire de vélocimétrie par Speckle ultrasonore (Ultrasonic Speckle Velocimetry). Nous avons montré expérimentalement que le champ de vitesse pour tous les fluides est irrotationnel et que la forme du doigt peut être modélisé par un écoulement potentiel autour d'un solide de Rankine. Les expériences ont établi que le rayon de courbure à l'extrémité des doigts est l'unique paramètre qui dépend des propriétés rhéologiques des solutions de Xanthane. De plus, ce paramètre conditionne toute l'hydrodynamique autour des doigts de Saffman-Taylor. / This thesis is devoted to the study of Saffman-Taylor instabilities of complex fluids models. These are solutions of xanthan whose shear thinning behavior increases with polymer concentration.Initially, we studied the rheological properties of model fluids and then we characterized the properties of flow in a Hele-Shaw thick. In a second step, we measured by PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) distribution of the velocity field around the fingers of Saffman-Taylor for all fluids studied. To validate the PIV experiments, we characterized the sedimentation rates of tracers, by the complementary technique of ultrasonic speckle velocimetry (Ultrasonic Speckle Velocimetry).We have shown experimentally that the velocity field for all fluids is irrotational and that the shape of the finger can be modeled by a potential flow around a Rankine solid. Experiments have shown that the radius of curvature at the top of the fingers is the only parameter which depends on the rheological properties of xanthan solutions.In addition, this parameter influences the whole hydrodynamic around Saffman-Taylor fingers.

SHEAR RHEOMETRY PROTOCOLS TO ADVANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF MICROSTRUCTURED FLUIDSEduard Andres Caicedo Casso (6620462) 15 May 2019 (has links)
<p></p><p>This doctoral dissertation takes the reader through a
journey where applied shear rheology and flow-velocimetry are used to
understand the mesoscopic factors that control the flow behavior of three
microstructured fluids. Three individual protocols that measure relative
physical and mechanical properties of the flow are developed. Each protocol
aims to advance the particular transformation of novel soft materials into a
commercial product converging in the demonstration of the real the chemical,
physical and thermodynamical factors that could potentially drive their
successful transformation. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>First, this dissertation introduces the use of rotational
and oscillatory shear rheometry to quantify the solvent evaporation effect on
the flow behavior of polymer solutions used to fabricate isoporous asymmetric
membranes. Three different A-B-C triblock copolymer were evaluated:
polyisoprene-<i>b</i>-polystyrene-<i>b</i>-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (ISV);
polyisoprene-<i>b</i>-polystyrene-<i>b</i>-poly(<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylacrylamide)
(ISD); and polyisoprene-<i>b</i>-polystyrene-<i>b</i>-poly(<i>tert</i>-butyl methacrylate) (ISB). The resulting evaporation-induced
microstructure showed a solution viscosity and film viscoelasticity strongly
dependent on the chemical structure of the triblock copolymer molecules. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Furthermore, basic shear rheometry, flow birefringence, and
advanced flow-velocimetry are used to deconvolute the flow-microstructure relationships
of concentrated surfactant solutions. Sodium laureth sulfate in water (SLE<sub>1</sub>S)
was used to replicate spherical, worm-like, and hexagonally packed micelles and
lamellar structures. Interesting findings demonstrated that regular features of
flow curves, such as power-law shear thinning behavior, resulted from a wide
variety of experimental artifacts that appeared when measuring microstructured
fluids with shear rheometry.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally, the successful integration of shear rheometry to
calculate essential parameters to be used in a cost-effective visualization
technique (still in development) used to calculate the dissolution time of
polymers is addressed. The use of oscillatory rheometry successfully quantify
the viscoelastic response of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solutions and identify
formulations changes such as additive addition. The flow behavior of PVA
solutions was correlated to dissolution behavior proving that the developed
protocol has a high potential as a first screening tool.</p><br><p></p>
