Wall slip mechanisms in direct and inverse emulsions
2018
We carry out a series of experiments with the aim of completing our knowledge of wall slip characteristics, through a deductive approach based on macroscopic behavior observations. More precisely, we use model materials (direct and inverse emulsions) and determine the variations of wall slip properties depending on the material parameters (droplet size, concentration) and boundary conditions of the flow (free surface or flow between two solid surfaces, normal force, flow beyond yielding, and coated or rough surface). The wall slip characteristics are determined from long creep tests at different levels and from internal measurements of the velocity profile in the capillary or the Couette flow as determined by magnetic resonance imaging. First, we show that the slip yield stress is due either to edge effects in relation with evaporation then pinning around the line of contact or to a kind of adhesion of the suspended elements to the wall. This adhesion effect varies with the characteristics of the solid su...
