Using microparticle image velocimetry, we resolve the spatial structure of the shear-banding flow of a wormlike micellar surfactant solution in a straight microchannel. We reveal an instability of the interface between the shear bands, associated wit... Read More about Interfacially driven instability in the microchannel flow of a shear-banding fluid.

Viscoelastic Taylor-Couette instability of shear banded flow (2010)
Journal Article

We study numerically shear banded flow in planar and curved Couette geometries. Our aim is to capture two recent observations in shear banding systems of roll cells stacked in the vorticity direction, associated with an undulation of the interface be...
