▼ Emulsion explosives are classified as highly concentrated water-in-oil emulsions with high
droplet volume fraction that exceeding the close packing limit of spherical droplets. These
emulsions are commonly used as re-pumpable materials. Thus, the shearing action resulting
from the transportation process of these materials has a tremendous impact on their
structures and functionality and might reduce the shelf-life and performance of the products.
Therefore the main goal of this research was to investigate the stability of highly
concentrated water-in-oil emulsion under shearing using a newly designed piston-pumping
instrument.
The results of measurement included the droplet size distribution, microscopic observation,
flow and viscoelastic properties of the materials. Neither crystallisation nor other
destabilisation phenomena such as coalescence, partial coalescence, or phase inversion
occurred during the shearing process of these emulsions, regardless of their formulation
content. It was found that the high shearing action within this research experimental window
induced droplet refinement. The changes in droplet size distribution were achieved by multipass
flow through a small orifice set as outlet of the piston-chamber pumping instrument,
and intensive shearing provided the shift of the droplet sizes to the smaller-size side of the
distribution. Their distributions were wider and of Gaussian type. Two models were proposed
and used to fit the refinement evolution and the width of distributions respectively.

▼ The stability of steady-state solutions of the equations governing two-dimensional,
homogeneous, incompressible fluid
flow are analyzed in the context
of
shear-
flow in a channel. Both the linear and nonlinear theories are
reviewed and compared. In proving nonlinear stability of an equilibrium,
emphasis is placed on using the stability algorithm developed in Holm et al.
(1985). It is shown that for certain types of equilibria the linear theory is
inconclusive, although nonlinear stability can be proven.
Establishing nonlinear stability is dependent on the definition of a norm
on the space of perturbations. McIntyre and Shepherd (1987) specifically
define five norms, two for corresponding to one
flow state and three to a
different
flow state, and suggest that still others are possible. Here, the
norms given by McIntyre and Shepherd (1987) are shown to induce the same
topology (for the corresponding
flow states), establishing their equivalence as
norms, and hence their equivalence as measures of stability. Summaries of the
different types of stability and their mathematical definitions are presented.
Additionally, a summary of conditions on
shear-
flow equilibria under which
the various types of stability have been proven is presented.
The Hamiltonian structure of the two-dimensional Euler equations is
outlined following Olver (1986). A coordinate-free approach is adopted emphasizing
the role of the Poisson bracket structure. Direct calculations are
given to show that the Casimir invariants, or distinguished functionals, are
time-independent and therefore are conserved quantities in the usual sense.

▼ A method was developed to determine the particle size distribution of colloidal particles suspended in a fluid based on light transmittance measurements at various wavelengths. This method requires that the nature of the particle size distribution be assumed a priori. A technique to determine the orthokinetic coalescence efficiency of polydisperse emulsion droplets in simple shear flow was developed. The technique is based on comparing results of experimentally measured and theoretically calculated light transmittance intensities. The orthokinetic coalescence efficiency was assumed to be a function of the colliding droplets radius ratio and their surface potential which determines the maximum radius above which the orthokinetic coalescence efficiency is zero. […]
Une méthode a été développée pour déterminer la répartition de diamètres de particules d'une suspension colloïdale dans un milieu liquide, en mesurant la transmittance émise a différentes longueurs d'ondes. Cette méthode nécessite qu'un type de répartition ou de distribution soit supposé au départ. Une méthode fut développée afin de déterminer l'efficacité des collisions orthocinétiques d’une émulsion polydisperse dans un flux de cisaillement simple. Cette technique s'appuie sur la comparaison de résultats expérimentaux avec ceux calcules théoriquement à partir de l'intensité de la lumière transmise. Comme hypothèse de départ, l'efficacité de la coalescence orthocinétique fut supposée varier en fonction du rapport des rayons des gouttes entrant en collision, ainsi que e leur potentiel de surface, définissant le rayon maximum au-dessus duquel l'efficacité de la collision orthocinétique est nulle.

▼ The
shear flow dynamics of a viscous liquid drop
placed in another fluid medium is analyzed in the Stokes-
flow
regime. This study is motivated by investigations on protein
crystal growth for which it is known that
shear flow in the protein
solution affects the nucleation rate. It is of interest to be able
to generate and control
shear flow in the sessile-drop geometry
which is commonly used for crystal growth and protein aggregation
studies. While drops for such experiments are usually of the
spherical-cap shape, the enormous analytical complexity has led us
to first deal with a two-dimensional drop with linear
shear in the
external medium, i.e., the cylindrical equivalent of the cap. With
the bipolar coordinate system, the circular interface can be
exactly identified by constant value of one of the coordinates, and
lends itself to satisfying the relevant continuity conditions at
the gas-liquid and the solid-liquid interfaces of the system. The
second case of a three-dimensional axisymmetric sessile drop with
extensional
flow shear is analyzed under toroidal coordinate system
with the same advantage of fitting gas-liquid interface as bipolar
coordinate system. While these two cases rely on the mechanical
shear, a third case of electrostatically driven
flow applied to a
hemispherical drop on a solid surface is also considered. The exact
solutions within the framework of Stokes
flow of three cases are
developed, and the
flow field and
shear stress distribution are
rendered in this study. Some major effects of fluid properties,
such as viscosity ratio, and dielectric constant ratio, to
shear
stress distributions are discussed. It is expected that the
quantitive evaluation of the parameters governing
shear will
provide useful information for controlling
shear rate in a sessile
drop. The analysis would be helpful in the design of experiments
where direct measurement of
shear is generally intrusive and
possibly disruptive to other sensitive physicochemical processes
such as protein nucleation.

▼ In order to keep pace with government fuel economy legislation, the automotive and aerospace industries have adopted a strategy they call “lightweighting”. This refers to decreasing the overall weight of a car, truck, or plane by replacing dense materials with less-dense substitutes. For example, a steel engine bracket in a car could be replaced with a high-temperature plastic reinforced with carbon fiber. This composite material will be lighter in weight than the comparable steel component, but maintains its structural integrity. Thermoplastics reinforced with some kind of fiber, typically carbon or glass, have proven to be extremely useful in meeting the demands of lightweighting. Thermoplastics are materials that can be melted from a feedstock (typically pellets), reshaped in the melted state through use of a mold, and then cooled to a solid state, and some common commodity-grade thermoplastics include polypropylene (used for Ziploc bags) and polyamides (commonly called Nylon and used in clothing). Although these commodity applications are not known for their strength, the fiber reinforcement in the automotive applications significantly improves the structural integrity of the thermoplastics. The ability to melt and reshape thermoplastics make them incredibly useful for highthroughput processes such as injection molding. Injection molding takes the pellets and conveys them through a heated barrel using a rotating screw. The melted thermoplastic gathers at the tip of the barrel, and when a set volume is gathered, the screw is rammed forward to inject the thermoplastic into a closed mold of the desired shape. This process typically takes between 30-60 seconds per injection. This rate of production is crucial for the automotive industry, as manufacturers need to put out thousands of parts in a short period of time. The improvement to mechanical properties of the thermoplastics is strongly influenced by the orientation of the reinforcing fibers. Although design equations connecting the part’s mechanical properties to the orientation of the fibers do exist, they require knowledge of the orientation of the fibers throughout the part. Fibers in injection-molded parts have an extremely complicated orientation v state. Measuring the orientation state at each point would be too laborious, so empirical models tying the
flow of the thermoplastic through the mold to the evolving orientation state of the fibers have been developed to predict the orientation state in the final part. These predictions can be used in lieu of direct measurements in the part design equations. However, the orientation models rely on empirical fitting parameters which must be obtained before injection molding simulations are performed. There is currently no standard test for obtaining these parameters, nor is there a standardized look-up table. The work presented in this dissertation continues efforts to establish such a test using simple flows in a laboratory setting, independent of injection molding. Previous work focused exclusively on using…

▼ In hypersonic flows, turbulence critically influences mass and momentum transport, mixing, heat transfer and acoustic noise generation. In contrast to incompressible
flow, in high speed flows pressure is a true thermodynamic variable and flowthermodynamic interactions render the investigations extremely challenging. Most studies to date have been performed on steady, uniform or homogeneous
shear flows leading to important insight on the
flow physics. In most real world applications,flows of practical importance will exhibit unsteadiness and strong inhomogeneity. To
date, investigations of unsteadiness and inhomogeneity in high-speed flows are rare. The goal of this dissertation is to study and understand these non-ideal effects when pertinent to
shear flows. Towards this goal, we perform three distinct studies: (a) examination of time reversal characteristics of linear inviscid mass, momentum, energy and state equation in compressible flows; (b) Linear analysis (RDT) of compressibility effects on instabilities in temporally periodic (unsteady) homogeneous
shear flow; and (c) Numerical investigation of small perturbation evolution in compressible Kolmogorov (inhomogeneous)
shear flow.
The first study shows that even with the additional governing equations required in the high-speed regime, the inviscid
flow field is still reversible. This justifies the use of temporal periodicity to investigate the effect of unsteadiness. The second study presents a detailed analysis of the pressure equation in temporally periodic homogeneous
shear flow. The analysis and numerical results show unsteady uniform
shear exhibits two stages of evolution due to the changing behavior of pressure. These stages are analogous to the first two stages of evolution established in steady
shear. The third stage seen in steady
shear is not achieved by periodic
shear flow. The final study shows that the evolution of small perturbations in spatially periodic Kolmogorov
flow is influenced by: i) the initial compressibility parameter, M_(g0), ii) the initial perturbation orientation, and iii) the stream normal location. Ultimately, the final study supports the postulate that all
shear flows exhibit perturbation stability boundary classifications seen in homogeneous
shear flows. The findings of this
research further our understanding of the effects of unsteadiness and inhomogeneity in realistic flows, which will aid in the development of improved computational tools.

▼ Large ensembles of forward model simulations with well-constructed parametric model perturbations can provide useful insights to assessing different sources of uncertainties in ice- stream modeling. Ensemble sensitivity analysis of these simulations can further provide guidance to retrieve and improve these uncertain parameters through data assimilation, as well as to assess what potential observations will be more valuable for reducing such uncertainties.
In this thesis, we use a 2-d flowline model to study the ensemble sensitivity of ice-
flow speed and ice thickness to the spatially varying basal friction profile, bottom topography and upstream flux. We found that ice surface velocity is highly correlated to the basal drag at the downstream end. The results also show that a 5% uncertainty in the initial upstream mass flux will have a strong impact on the surface ice velocity simulation (their correlations are 0.8 or greater everywhere). This upstream flux uncertainty can be more dominant than the uncertainty due to the basal friction coefficient. Thus, previous retrieval results that did not consider uncertainty in the upstream flux may be overconfident.

▼ Megakaryocytes (Mks) are exposed to
shear flow as they migrate from the bone marrow hematopoietic compartment into circulation to release pro/preplatelets into circulating blood.
Shear forces promote DNA synthesis, polyploidization, and maturation in Mks, and platelet biogenesis. To investigate mechanisms underlying these Mk responses to
shear, we carried out protein expression and transcriptomic analysis on immature and mature stem cell-derived Mks exposed to physiological
shear. In immature (d9) Mks,
shear exposure upregulated genes related to growth and Mk maturation, while in mature (d12) Mks, it upregulated genes involved in apoptosis and intracellular transport. Following
shear-
flow exposure, six AP-1 transcripts (ATF4, JUNB, JUN, FOSB, FOS, and JUND) were upregulated at d9 and two AP-1 proteins (JunD and c-Fos) were upregulated both at d9 and d12.
We show that MAPK signaling is linked to both the
shear-stress response and AP-1 upregulation. JNK phosphorylation increased significantly following
shear stimulation, while JNK inhibition reduced
shear-induced JunD expression. Although p38 phosphorylation did not increase following
shear flow, its inhibition reduced
shear-induced JunD and c-Fos expression. JNK and p38 inhibition reduced fibrinogen binding of d12 platelet-like particles (PLPs). AP-1 expression correlated with increased Mk DNA synthesis and polyploidization, which might explain the observed impact of
shear on Mks.
While the AP-1 and MAPK studies provide context for
shear-induced polyploidization, questions still remain regarding the apoptosis-related processes activated by
shear flow (i.e. increased Caspase 3 activation and PS externalization). There was also a limited understanding of the mechanisms that drive Mk microparticle (MkMP) biogenesis. Here we show that transcription-independent p53-induced apoptosis is involved in
shear-induced Caspase 3 activation. We demonstrate that in Mks exposed to
shear flow, p53 binds to Bax, likely resulting in Bax channel formation in the mitochondrial outer membrane. This is supported by
shear-induced release of cytochrome c into the cytoplasm, with subsequent activation of Caspase 9.
We also provide a mechanism by which MkMPs are generated in response to
shear flow. The data suggest that transcription-independent p53-induced apoptosis is involved in this process and that by expressing a mutant form of p53 that cannot bind to Bax, the biogenesis of multiple Mk particles (microparticles, platelet-like particles, and pro/pre-platelets) are negatively affected. We also demonstrate that
shear-induced phosphatidylserine externalization is a p53-dependent process, but not regulated by transcription-independent p53-induced apoptosis.
Here we elucidate the specific transcriptional and molecular changes that occur in Mks following exposure to
shear flow. Our data implicate both the MAPK pathway and a downstream transcription factor, AP-1. We show significant upregulation of AP- 1 transcripts and proteins in immature and mature Mks following exposure to
shear.…

▼ Planar dense wakes can be found in many industrial processes, such as combustion and paper-making. Confinement is known to make such wakes more locally absolutely unstable, but this destabilizing effect has not been comprehensively examined in real wakes bounded by a finite streamwise domain. For example, it is not known (i) how the confinement length and confinement ratio influence the dense wake stability and (ii) what the critical values of other operating parameters such as shear ratio should be for global instability to occur. In this experimental study, we try to answer these questions by examining a planar dense wake consisting of a central stream of CO2 (dense gas) sandwiched by two identical outer streams of air (light gas). The wake is confined by solid walls of variable length, which act as an adjustable confinement. We find that the confinement has a strong influence on the hydrodynamic stability of the wake: (a) self-excited global oscillations appear only when the confinement length exceeds a critical value and (b) the planar dense wake is most globally unstable when moderately confined, at a confinement ratio of h = 0.7 and h = 1. The shear ratio also has significant influence on the wake stability. Knowledge of determining the confinement ratio and confinement length for global instability to occur under various conditions could be useful for optimizing industrial processes.

▼ Sheared Flows have been studied extensively in devices such as tokomaks, and Q-machines. The study of flows has multiple purposes; it is observed that plasmas in space, and in the ionosphere, tend to have sheared flows, and to be able to better understand these, it is desired to perform experiments in the laboratory. As well, flows have been studied extensively for the purposes of fusion. It has been observed that sheared flows may excite certain instabilities such as the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability; sheared flows also have the ability to suppress gradient-drive instabilities, such as drift-waves. Being able to change and control the
flow, and
flow shear in a plasma is an important region of experimental study. The Helicon-Cathode device at the University of New Mexico is a linear device that can produce a plasma via an rf-antenna, or via a cathode discharge. Using the helicon source, it is possible to create a dense lab plasma ~ 10
19 m
-3, and an electron temperature around 5eV. Using this device, electrodes were placed into the plasma, and biased. In order to characterize if any changes occurred in the plasma, electrostatic probes were used to measure the (floating) potential, and the density profile, in addition to mach probe measurements, which were used to measure axial
flow (
flow along the magnetic field), and azimuthal
flow (
flow perpendicular to the magnetic field). Experimental were completed with two goals. The first goal of the project was to compare estimated
flow values, found from the measured density and potential measurements, with the measured
flow values. The second goal of the project was to have an empirical analysis of the electrode affects on the plasma. It is hoped that this analysis will make it possible for other groups to re-create specific
shear profiles, and
flow speeds in a similar device. It is observed that measured
flow values do not match estimated
flow values, and reasonable explanations may be the lack of temperature and plasma potential measurements, or the failure of mach probe theory due to an insufficiently magnetized plasma. It may also be possible that more complicated physics is occurring due to drift-waves, and zonal flows in the system. It is also observed that it is possible to affect the (floating) potential of the system, along with the azimuthal and axial flows of the system. Different sheared profiles are exhibited for different grid biases; the results provide a frame-work for better controlling flows using multiple electrodes, and for creating specific
flow values in a similar device.

▼ Three-dimensional numerical simulations using front-tracking method are considered to study the dynamics and rheology of a suspension of elastic capsules in linear
shear flow over a broad range of viscosity contrast (ratio of internalto- external fluid viscosity),
shear rate (or, capillary number), and aspect ratio. First, we focus on the coupling between the shape deformation and orientation dynamics of capsules, and show how this coupling influences the transition from the tank-treading to tumbling motion. At low capillary numbers, three distinct modes of motion are identified: a swinging or oscillatory (OS) mode at a low viscosity contrast in which the inclination angle θ(t) oscillates but always remains positive; a vacillating-breathing (VB) mode at a moderate viscosity contrast in which θ(t) periodically becomes positive and negative, but a full tumbling does not occur; and a pure tumbling mode (TU) at a higher viscosity contrast. At higher capillary numbers, three types of transient motions occur, in addition to the OS and TU modes, during which the capsule switches from one mode to the other as (i) VB to OS, (ii) TU to VB to OS, and (iii) TU to VB. It is shown that the coupling between the shape deformation and orientation is the strongest in the VB mode. The numerical results are compared with the theories of Keller and Skalak, and Skotheim and Secomb. Significant departures from the two theories are discussed and related to the strong coupling between the shape deformation, inclination, and transition dynamics. We then address the rheology of a dilute suspension of liquid-filled elastic capsules. We consider capsules of spherical resting shape for which only a steady tank-treading motion is observed. It is shown that the suspension exhibits a
shear viscosity minimum at moderate values of the viscosity ratio, and high capillary numbers. The normal stress differences are shown to decrease with increasing capillary number at high viscosity ratios. Such non-trivial results can neither be predicted by the small-deformation theory, nor can be explained by the capsule geometry alone. Physical mechanisms underlying these novel results are studied by decomposing the particle stress tensor into a contribution due to the elastic stresses in the capsule membrane, and a contribution due to the viscosity differences between the internal and suspending fluids. It is shown that the elastic contribution is
shear-thinning, but the viscous contribution is
shear-thickening. The coupling between the capsule geometry, and the elastic and viscous contributions is analysed to explain the observed trends in the bulk rheology.

▼ The thesis addresses the applicability of traditional hydraulic theory to an unstable,
mid-latitude jet where the only wave present is the Rossby wave modified by shear.
While others (Armi 1989, Pratt 1989, Haynes et al.1993 and Woods 1993) have examined
specific examples of shear flow "hydraulics", my goal was to find general criteria
for the types of flows that may exhibit hydraulic behavior. In addition, a goal was to
determine whether a hydraulic mechanism could be important if smaller scale shear
instabilities were present.
A flow may exhibit hydraulic behavior if there is an alternate steady state with
the same functional relationship between potential vorticity and streamfunction. Using
theorems for uniqueness and existence of two point boundary value problems, a
necessary condition for the existence of multiple states was established. Only certain
flows with non-constant, negative dQ(ψ)/dψ have alternate states.
Using a shooting method for a given transport and a given smooth relationship between
potential vorticity and streamfunction, alternate states are found over a range
of beta. Multiple solutions arise at a pitchfork bifurcation as a stability parameter
is raised above the stability threshold determined by the necessary condition for instability.
The center branch of the pitchfork is unstable to the gravest mode, while
the two outer branches do not even have discrete modes. Other pitchfork bifurcations
occur as higher meridional modes become unstable. Again, the inner branch
is unstable to the next gravest mode, while the outer branches do not support this
discrete mode. These results place the barotropic instability problem into a large
set of nonlinear systems described by bifurcation theory. However, if the eastward
transport across the channel is large enough, the normal modes may stabilize and
these waves have a phase speed less than the minimum velocity of the flow. In this
case, the flow is analogous to sub-critical hydraulic flow.
The establishment of these states and the nature of transitions between them is
studied in the context of an initial value problem, solved numerically, in which the
zonally uniform jet is forced to adjust to the sudden appearance of an obstacle. The
time-dependent adjustment of an initially stable flow exhibits traditional hydraulic behavior such as control and influence in the far-field. However, if the flow is unstable,
the instability dominates the evolution. If the topographic slope renders the flow more
unstable than the ambient flow, then the resulting adjustment can be understood as
a local instability.
The thesis has established a connection between hydraulic adjustment and the
barotropic instability of the flow. Both types of dynamics arise from adjustments
among multiple equilibria in an unforced, inviscid fluid.

▼ Endothelial function is influenced by a variety of factors, including
shear stress direction and magnitude. Whereas improvements in endothelial function have mostly been attributed to increased anterograde
flow, the results of many interventional models in humans suggest that enhancing blood
flow in both anterograde and retrograde directions to create a high
shear stress oscillatory stimulus may be optimal for improving endothelial function. Well-controlled studies are necessary to further this theory. The purposes of this study were to determine the brachial artery acute
shear stress and endothelial function responses to (1) passive heat stress (HEAT), (2) ECG-gated cuff compressions (CUFF), and (3) ECG-gated rhythmic handgrip exercise (HGEX); and (4) to determine if there is a relationship between the degree of
shear stress oscillation and endothelial function, regardless of the stimulus applied. We hypothesized that (1) HEAT would increase anterograde
shear stress and decrease retrograde
shear stress, leading to an unpredictable change in endothelial function; (2) CUFF would increase both anterograde and retrograde
shear stress, leading to an increase in endothelial function; (3) HGEX would increase anterograde and retrograde
shear stress and exercise metabolites, leading to an increase in endothelial function; and (4) the change in oscillatory
shear index would be positively associated with the change in
flow-mediated dilation, such that an increment increase in the degree of
shear stress oscillation would be accompanied by a proportional improvement in endothelial function.
In separate visits, 10 young healthy males (22±3 years) underwent 10 minutes of unilateral HEAT, CUFF, or HGEX on the left arm (EXP), while the right arm served as a within-
subject time control (CON). Non-invasive finger plethysmography was used to measure heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) throughout the testing sessions. Ultrasonography was used to obtain measures of blood velocity and arterial diameter from the brachial artery of both limbs throughout the interventions. Anterograde and retrograde
shear stress (SS) and oscillatory
shear index (OSI) were calculated at baseline and during each intervention to assess the blood
flow pattern changes. Endothelial function was assessed before and after each intervention, in both limbs simultaneously using a
flow-mediated dilation (FMD) test. HEAT increased HR during the intervention (P < 0.05), mean BP and diastolic BP after the intervention (P < 0.05), anterograde SS in EXP (rest: 15.2 ± 2.9 vs. HEAT: 29.8 ± 8.5 dynes/cm2, P < 0.05), and FMD% in both limbs (P = 0.000). CUFF did not change HR or BP, increased anterograde (rest: 17.9 ± 4.1 vs. CUFF: 43.0 ± 12.4 dynes/cm2, P < 0.05) and retrograde (rest: -3.1 ± 2.5 vs. CUFF: -22.7 ± 6.0 dynes/cm2, P < 0.05) SS in EXP, but did not change FMD% in either limb (P = 0.248). HGEX increased HR during the intervention (P < 0.05), mean BP during and after the intervention (P < 0.05), anterograde SS in EXP (rest: 18.7 ± 5.9 vs. HGEX: 56.4 ± 11.5…

This was accomplished by scaling the STZ volume with a log-linear fit to the strain rate, and also adjusting the activation energy of an STZ with a log-linear fit to maintain constant yield strength at differing strain rates. Twelve simulations are run at each of six different strain rates ranging from 10-5 to 100 s-1, and statistics are collected on simulation behavior and shear band nucleation and propagation rates. The simulations show shear band nucleation has a positive correlation to strain rate, and shear band propagation has a negative correlation to strain rate. This shows that in STZ dynamics, the regime of reduced flow serration arises due to competing rates of nucleation and propagation, supporting the hypothesis proposed by Schuh. A positive correlation between critical shear band nucleus size and strain rate is proposed as an underlying cause of these rate dependencies.

▼ A suspension is a fully saturated mixture of discrete solid particles and interstitial liquid. Examples of suspensions include pastes, slurries, cement, food-spreads, drilling fluids and some geophysical flows. The present work focusses on granular (as opposed to colloidal) suspensions, which we define as those for which the thermal motion of the solid particles is negligible. Despite such ubiquity in industry and nature, our understanding of the mechanical properties of suspensions lags behind that of their constituent solid and liquids. In this thesis, the discrete element method is used to simulate suspension flow in shear, capillary and constriction geometries, mapping and characterising the fundamental flow, or rheological, regimes. As a starting point (Chapter 2), we consider an established regime map for dry granular materials, appropriate for flows of sand, grains and dry debris. Taking guidance from shear flow simulations that consider the lubricating effect of an interstitial liquid, we recast the regime map for a general suspension, elucidating flows comparable to the dry material or to a viscous liquid, dependent on the shear rate, liquid viscosity and particle stiffness. We give an account of the microstructural traits associated with each regime. Motivated by recent groundbreaking theoretical, computational and experimental work, we incorporate the emerging picture of frictional shear thickening into our regime map (Chapter 3). Our shear flow simulations capture the shear thickening behaviour and demonstrate that it may, in principle, occur in any of the identified flow regimes. Our simulations of time-dependent shear flows (Chapter 4), specifically flow reversal, provide a detailed micro-mechanical explanation of a longstanding and previously unexplained experimental finding, guiding future experimentalists in decomposing the particle and liquid contributions to the viscosity of any suspension. Indeed, the findings have already been exploited in the devising of an experimental protocol that has successfully proven the dominance of particle contacts in driving shear thickening. We next consider suspension flow in a microchannel (Chapter 5), finding that the identified shear flow regimes are locally applicable to flows in complex geometries under inhomogeneous stress conditions only when the local mean shear rate exceeds temporal velocity fluctuations. A more comprehensive description is therefore required to fully characterise the flow behaviour in this geometry. Finally (Chapter 6), we simulate pressure driven suspension flow through a constriction geometry, observing highly inhomogeneous stress distributions and velocity profiles. The roles of particle and fluid properties are considered in the context of an industrial paste extrusion process.

▼ Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is the auto-regulation of blood vessel size in response to flow-induced increases in shear stress. FMD is governed by the vascular endothelium, an important monolayer which also regulates vascular homeostasis.
Tests of FMD offer the potential to predict future cardiovascular disease event. The usefulness of these tests can be improved if FMD is normalized to the shear stimulus. The purpose of study one was to determine the importance of velocity acceleration
to FMD. FMD was measured prior to and following induced increases in velocity acceleration. Mean blood velocity was kept constant between conditions. Fourteen physically active, young (26+5 years) male subjects were tested. Blood flow to the forearm was
manipulated using progressive local heating and handgrip exercise. Brachial artery blood velocities and diameters were measured using ultrasound. Velocity acceleration was increased by inflating a tourniquet around the forearm to 40 mmHg. Hierarchical
linear modeling (HLM) was used to estimate change in diameter with repeated measures of shear rate nested within each subject. The shear rate-diameter slope was used to represent FMD. When velocity acceleration was increased FMD was attenuated by 11% (P
= 0.015). The second study assessed whether peak- and time integrated-shear rates independently predict FMD. Eleven physically active, young (2+5 years) male subjects were tested. Each subject was tested under transient and steady-state shear rate
conditions. During the transient condition, shear rate was increased using four down-stream ischemic durations (2, 4, 6 & 10 min). During the steady-state condition, shear rate was manipulated using progressive local heating and handgrip exercise.
HLM was used to estimate change in diameter with repeated measures of shear rate nested within each subject. When accounting for both time integrated and peak shear rates, FMD did not significantly differ between transient and steady-state conditions (P
= 0.067). Collectively, these findings suggest that the velocity profile and the peak shear response contribute to the shear stimulus for FMD.

▼ With terms like “globalization” and “export driven economy” as part of our modern lexicon, clearly international trade is an important part of the world’s economic landscape. By necessity, much of this trade involves maritime transport. Even though goods can be transported efficiently by ship, improving those efficiencies would help reduce the corresponding transportation costs and fuel consumption, thereby, reducing the emission of associated pollutants and their impact on the environment. Numerous studies have investigated the introduction of air bubbles along a ship’s hull in order to reduce the drag on a ship through the shearing of a water/air mixture rather than water alone. This technique is called “air lubrication” of the ship’s hull, and some of the associated studies have shown significant improvements in the propulsion system efficiencies when these systems were tested. Hardly any of these studies, however, included an investigation of the bubbles’ impact on the operation of the propeller. Consequently, this research investigated the interaction between a propeller and bubbles from three different perspectives. Initially, tests were run on a remote controlled boat to quantify a bubbly mixture’s impact on the propeller. These tests indicated that the bubbles reduced the thrust developed by the propeller by 4.5%. Additionally, theoretical investigations into the nature of the bubble/water interaction were also undertaken. This work broadened the investigation and led to the development of general creeping flow equations describing flow fields and energy dissipation in spherical bubbles and the liquid that surrounds them. These equations and a series of simple experiments indicated that bubbles will enhance the dissipation in creeping linear shear flows. Finally, high speed video of the propeller jet was shot to characterize the interaction between the bubbles and the turbulent flow field in the jet. The videos captured at least four bubble breakup modes and showed how these modes were related to the relative turbulent intensity in the fluid surrounding the bubble. These experiments and investigations, developed a more comprehensive understanding of the interactions (1) between a bubble and its surrounding liquid and (2) between a bubbly mixture and a propeller.

▼ Upstream flow blocking is a distinguishing feature of stratified flows incident on dynamically tall mountain ridges. Blocking occurs as a consequence of the upstream propagation of long internal wave modes that are excited at the obstacle and which permanently modify the oncoming flow. When the ridge is infinite, the fluid upstream and below a `blocking level' is brought to stagnation. The resulting across-crest asymmetry combined with volume transport constraints causes the overflowing layer to accelerate and develop into a hydraulically controlled flow. The processes leading to the establishment of upstream blocking and hydraulic control occur on a characteristic short time scale. In the interior of a long, but finite ridge, a hydraulically controlled overflow similarly develops on a short time scale, while over a longer time scale, low-level horizontal flow splitting leads to the establishment of an upstream layer-wise potential flow beneath the blocking level. We demonstrate through numerical experiments that for sufficiently long ridges, crest control and streamwise asymmetry are seen on both the short and long time scales. We then proceed to quantify the overflow using the framework of stratified hydraulics.In a separate study, we investigate the dynamic stability of stratified flow configurations characteristic of blocked, topographically controlled downslope flows. The essential character of the base flow profiles considered is determined by the analytical solutions of Winters and Armi (2014). Their condition of optimal control necessitates a streamline bifurcation above the blocking location, which then naturally produces a stagnant isolating layer overlying an accelerating downslope flow. We show that the inclusion of the isolating layer is an essential component of the stability analysis. The spatial stability problem is also examined in order to estimate the downstream location where finite amplitude features might manifest in streamwise slowly-varying flows over topography. Finally, to expose the dynamical connection between topographic control and wave excitation aloft, we consider flow over dynamically tall ridges under stratification conditions that feature a strong density jump above crest level. We show that the height of the bifurcating streamline depends sensitively on the location of the step. Further, the question of whether or not the density interface remains flat or plunges across the crest as part of the hydraulically controlled flow is found to be directly related to the requirement of maintaining a subcritical overflow upstream. We also demonstrate that the top of the density interface acts as a `virtual topography' for the flow aloft and fundamentally controls the amplitude of the wave response there.

▼ Intracontinental orogens are irreconcilable with conventional plate tectonics theory, which confines mountain building to plate-margin settings alone. However, the comparative rarity of such orogenic systems in the geological record means that their architecture and evolution are poorly understood. In order to address this deficiency, this thesis presents an integrated framework that characterises the structural, metamorphic and geochemical features of intracontinental reworking in central and southeastern Australia. The axial zone of the Ediacaran–Cambrian (600–530 Ma) Petermann Orogen, western Musgrave Province, is characterised by pervasive mylonitic deformation and low geothermal gradient metamorphism that formed at deep crustal levels (P = 10–14 kbar and T = 700–800 °C). Peak metamorphic conditions were attained at c. 570 Ma, followed by slow cooling to 600–660 °C by c. 540 Ma, at an average rate of 2–6 °C Myr⁻¹. The macroscopic structural, kinematic and metamorphic architecture of this terrane is broadly comparable in style to the Himalayan‒ Tibetan Orogen, suggesting that both systems are dominantly shaped by the gravitationally-driven
flow of deep crustal material. This similarity also extends to their spatial and temporal scales, overall cooling histories, average geothermal gradients, levels of exhumation and extents of crustal thickening, implying that the basic anatomy of intracontinental orogens is analogous to that of typical collisional belts. The Ordovician–Carboniferous (450–300 Ma) Alice Springs Orogen is characterised by intensely metasomatised ductile
shear zones that dissect the eastern Arunta Region. Similar alteration features are also observed in the Cambrian–Ordovician (514–490 Ma) Delamerian Orogen, southern Curnamona Province. In both cases, isotopic datasets confirm that substantial volumes of surface-derived fluids were involved in the rehydration of the deep crust. Calculated δ¹⁸O and δD fluid values are as low as ~2‰ and –60‰ for the former, whereas garnet porphyroblasts from the latter exhibit equilibrium δ¹⁸O fluid values of ~4‰. It is argued these surficial fluid signatures are imposed in the vicinity of the brittle‒ductile transition by the burial and dehydration of hydrothermally-altered fault panels, rather than the deep drawdown of a mobile fluid phase via hydraulic forcing. The resultant accumulation of increasing fluid volumes in penetrative fault networks promotes extensive metasomatism and reaction softening at the locus of stress transmission from plate-boundary sources. It is therefore concluded that the interaction of externally-derived fluids with refractory crustal material is a key contributing factor to critical reductions in lithospheric strength, ultimately providing strong impetus for the initiation and advancement of intracontinental orogenesis.

▼ Worldwide 8-16% of the people are affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD). If the CKD is undetected, people have the risk to develop progressive loss of kidney function, which can lead to kidney failure. People with kidney failure will need dialysis to take over the kidney function. For the hemodialysis a vascular access is needed, currently the preferred vascular access is an Arteriovenous fistula (AVF). But the AVF still has the limitation that maturation failure is a significant problem. The maturation failure is mainly caused by stenosis and thrombosis at the venous side of the AVF. To successfully mature the vein needs to adapt to the changes due to the creation of the AVF. Due to the higher
shear stress, some of the endothelial cells in the AVF could be damaged, due to this damage arterial and venous vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are directly exposed to the blood
flow. This means there will be a direct
shear stress on the VSMCs. Besides this direct
shear stress, venous VSMCs are also exposed to a much higher
shear stress. The difference in response to this higher
shear stress between the arterial and venous VSMCs may cause the problems within the AVF. In order to assess the difference in response between arterial and venous VSMCs
flow experiments were performed with the IBIDI
flow culturing system. HUASMCs, HUVSMCs and human primary VSMCs were used in these
flow experiments. Immunofluorescence and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were performed to analyze the outcome of the
flow experiments. This study shows that there is a difference between arterial and venous VSMCs in response to
shear stress in alignment of the VSMCs after the
flow experiments and within the RNA expression. But further research is necessary to confirm these findings. The results and set up of this study are a good basis for future research into the difference between arterial and venous VSMCs.

It is common practice to utilize a uniform approach flow in most of the problems in aerodynamics. However, in numerous circumstances the complex approach flows found in nature can be significantly non-uniform and even include spatially non-uniform temporal fluctuations. Motivated by these non-uniform unsteady flows, this experimental study investigates the effects of non-uniform approach flow unsteadiness on the aerodynamic performance of an airfoil.To isolate the effects of unsteadiness from those of the mean non-uniform approach flow, two non-uniform (shear) flows with a matching mean velocity profile are generated in a water tunnel facility. One of these profiles is made through a canonical two-stream shear layer, which is known to contain vortical structures and exhibit non-uniform velocity fluctuations. A matching shear velocity profile with uniform low level fluctuations is generated utilizing a modified shaped honeycomb shear generation method based on the original model proposed by Kotansky (1966). These shear flows demonstrate the same mean behavior and only differ in their fluctuation profiles.Behavior and development of both shear flows are examined through measurements of their streamwise velocity profile at multiple downstream locations utilizing single component molecular tagging velocimetry. The steady and unsteady shear flows are found to produce the same mean velocity profile with different classes of velocity fluctuations. The steady shear flow demonstrates a uniform low level of fluctuating velocity profile while the unsteady shear layer velocity fluctuations mimic the signature fluctuating velocity profile of plane mixing layers, with a high level of fluctuations in the center and a gradual decrease in fluctuations moving away from the shear layer center line.A NACA0012 airfoil is positioned at the center of each shear flow and the average aerodynamic forces on the stationary airfoil are directly measured across a wide range of angles of attack. The resulting lift and drag coefficient curves are compared for each of these shear flows as well as the reference uniform flow. The unsteady shear layer is found to generate a positive lift at zero angle of attack, in contrast to the negative lift observed under the same condition in the steady shear flow. Furthermore, in the presence of the unsteady shear flow, the linear region of the lift curve around zero angle of attack shows a larger slope and extends over a wider range of angles of attack compared to those of the steady shear and uniform flow lift curves. The unsteady shear flow results in a smaller magnitude of drag at small angles of attack compared to the other two flow conditions.Force measurements are also performed with the airfoil set to sinusoidally pitch around its quarter chord over a range of oscillation frequencies at the center of both shear flows and the reference uniform flow. The mean lift results show that at small oscillation frequencies the steady and…

▼ In this thesis I conducted numerical simulations to
study the flow behavior of dense particle flows composed of hard
particles under planar shear using the discrete element method. The
simulations were carried out in two dimensional systems, where the
particles are modelled as circular discs. The discs are
non-Brownian and neutrally buoyant. The granular flows can be
either dry or immersed in a Newtonian fluid, where the fluid is
treated in a mean field manner and represented by a velocity
profile. The works that are included in this thesis can be divided
into two parts. The first (Paper I+II) focus on the rheology of
discontinuous shear thickening (DST) granular flows under steady
planar shear (i.e.~with a constant shear-rate). The DST behavior is
reproduced using the critical load model (CLM), where a threshold
force is introduced for determining whether there is friction
between the discs at contact. A contact is frictional if the normal
force between the discs is larger than the threshold. It is found
that a key parameter that controls the rheology of such flow is the
fraction of frictional contacts, defined as the ratio of the number
of frictional contacts to the total number of contacts. By
performing simulations under controlled imposed pressure, we are
able to investigate behaviors of suspensions close to shear jamming
points as well as suspensions with intermediate fraction of
frictional contacts. The constitutive laws are then presented,
which are used to predict rheology of discontinuous shear
thickening particle flows under various shear protocols. The types
of particle flows range from viscous suspensions where the
particles are strictly overdamped so that the particle inertia are
negligible to dry granular flows where the particle inertia are
dominant, as well as suspensions where both particle inertia and
viscous drag is important. The second part (Paper III and IV)
focuses on the behaviors of dense viscous suspensions under
oscillatory planar shear. The simulations wereconducted both with
constant packing fraction and constant imposed pressure. The
oscillatory shear is either a pure oscillation or with an extra
oscillatory shear parallel to a primary shear. It is found that by
having an oscillatory shear parallel to the primary shear, the
viscosity of the suspensions decreased. Furthermore, the shear
jamming packing fractions for the suspensions composed of
frictional particles are found to be increased under oscillation
conditions, possibly due to the microstructure of the
suspensions.

▼ In the first part of this dissertation, the phenomenon of self-sustained pressure os-cillations due to the
flow past a circular, axisymmetric cavity, associated with inline gate valves, was investigated. In many engineering applications, such as flows through open gate valves, there exists potential for coupling between the vortex shedding from the up-stream edge of the cavity and a diametral mode of the acoustic pressure fluctuations. The effects of the internal pipe geometry immediately upstream and downstream of the shal-low cavity on the characteristics of partially trapped diametral acoustic modes were in-vestigated numerically and experimentally on a scaled model of a gate valve mounted in a pipeline that contained convergence-divergence sections in the vicinity of the valve. The resonant response of the system corresponded to the second acoustic diametral mode of the cavity. Excitation of the dominant acoustic mode was accompanied by pressure oscillations, and, in addition to that, as the angle of the converging-diverging section of the main pipeline in the vicinity of the cavity increased, the trapped behavior of the acoustic diametral modes diminished, and additional antinodes of the acoustic pressure wave were observed in the main pipeline.
In addition to that, the effect of shallow chamfers, introduced at the upstream and/or downstream cavity edges, was investigated in the experimental system that con-tained a deep, circular, axisymmetric cavity. Through the measurements of unsteady pressure and associated acoustic mode shapes, which were calculated numerically for several representative cases of the internal cavity geometry, it was possible to identify the configuration that corresponded to the most efficient noise suppression. This arrangement also allowed calculation of the azimuthal orientation of the acoustic modes, which were classified as stationary, partially spinning or spinning. Introduction of shallow chamfers at the upstream and the downstream edges of the cavity resulted in changes of azimuthal orientation and spinning behaviour of the acoustic modes. In addition, introduction of splitter plates in the cavity led to pronounced change in the spatial orientation and the spinning behaviour of the acoustic modes. The short splitter plates changed the behaviour of the dominant acoustic modes from partially spinning to stationary, while the long split-ter plates enforced the stationary behaviour across all resonant acoustic modes.
Finally, the evolution of fully turbulent, acoustically coupled
shear layers that form across deep, axisymmetric cavities and the effects of geometric modifications of the cavity edges on the separated
flow structure were investigated using digital particle image velocimetry (PIV). Instantaneous, time- and phase-averaged patterns of vorticity pro-vided insight into the
flow physics during
flow tone generation and noise suppression by the geometric modifications. In particular, the first mode of the
shear layer oscillations was significantly affected by shallow chamfers…

▼ This thesis is an experimental study of
shear effect of a two-degree-of-freedom cylinder in fluid
flow in terms of different mass ratio. This study is done using an elastic cylinder of high natural frequency, and the free stream velocity is 0.2m/s to 1.5m/s. The results show that as mass ratio increases, the motion of cylinder becomes more stable and small, and the frequency response of cylinder self-excited is bigger than vortex-shedding response when spring constant is bigger enough. Thus it is not easy to observe the vortex-shedding frequency variation with respect to various velocities by dint of cylinder vibration. When it come to the
shear effect, the effect of
shear flow could decreases the drag force, and increases the lift force. Orbits of cylinder vibration is not symmetric; the displacement is more significant on low velocity side.

▼ On the toughening of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), successful results in the phase-separated Zr63.8Ni16.2Cu15Al5 BMG have achieved compressive ductility over 15% through the computational-thermodynamic approach. In this study, the phase-separated Zr63.8Ni16.2Cu15Al5 BMG was compressed to nominal strains of 3%, 7%, and 10% at low strain rates (~10-4 s-1) and the results demonstrated that the BMG exhibited apparent uniform deformation initially, followed by visible local
shear bands development. Afterwards, a single
shear along the principal
shear plane was soon developed and mainly dominated the whole deformation process. The principal
shear contributed more than 2/3 of the overall plastic strain until failure. It was also found that the local
shear strain varied along the principal
shear plane and decreased monotonically from the
shear band initiation site. Subsequently, in-situ compression experiments were conducted to monitor the change of sample shape during deformation in order to properly correlate with the stress-strain curve. The observed images showed that there was a one-to-one correspondence between the intermittent sample sliding and
flow serration in the plastic region of stress-strain curve.
Further investigations on
flow serration were conducted on the Pd40Ni40P20 BMG through the compression experiments equipped with high-sensitivity strain gauges directly attached to two opposite sides of the test sample. There was an accompanied displacement burst when a
shear band starts to propagate during deformation and this displacement burst would be accurately captured by the high-sensitivity strain gauges. Based on the displacement-time profile for one serration,
shear-band propagating speed can be estimated and found to be insensitive to the applied strain rates (or the applied crosshead speeds). The disappearance of
flow serration at high strain rates should be a result that the signal of displacement burst was overwhelmed by the applied strain rate. Using the
shear strain rate data, the measured viscosity within a propagating
shear band was found to be relatively low, which is in similar to the viscosity values reported in the supercooled liquid region during homogeneous deformation. In comparison with
shear band propagation in the brittle Mg58Cu31Y6Nd5 and Au49Ag5.5Pd2.3Cu26.9Si16.3, moderately ductile Cu50Zr43Al7 and Pd40Ni40P20, and highly ductile phased-separated Zr63.8Ni16.2Cu15Al5 systems, the ductility of BMGs appears to be closely related to the dynamics during
shear band propagation. The more ductile in nature the metallic glass is, the slower the
shear band propagating speed would become.
We also made attempts to investigate the
shear band propagation in the porous Mo particles reinforced Mg58Cu28.5Gd11Ag2.5 bulk metallic glass composites (BMGCs) with up to 10% compressive failure strain. It was found that
flow serration was absent in the stress-strain curve. Using high-sensitivity strain gauges, no distinct displacement burst was detected in the displacement-time profile. The diappearance of
flow…

▼ In this study, used electroosmotic-driven to generate
shear flow in semi-circle and quartered-circle microchannel which were designed to investigate the stretching of λDNA molecules and
flow phenomena. We utilized μPIV to measure the velocity distribution and FM to observe the stretching of dyed λDNA in microchannel. This study, we analyzed statistically stretch ratio and relaxation time of λDNA molecules in 1ÃTBE buffer solution with a variety of viscosity and intensity of electric field. Then the stretching force,
shear rate, and spring constant were calculated and compared with conventional model. It was found that higher Wi and Pe can have longer stretch length, and smaller curvature of radius in the semi-circle microchannel could make better stretching consequent.
