Rheo-PIV of yield-stress fluids in a 3D-printed fractal vane-in-cup geometry by Medina-Bañuelos, Esteban F., Marín-Santibáñez, Benjamín M., Chaparian, Emad, Owens, Crystal E., McKinley, Gareth H., Pérez-González, José

“…We describe the velocity distributions in all cases and show that the fVIC produces an almost axisymmetric flow field and rotation rate-independent “effective radius” when used with both the Newtonian fluid and the microgel. These findings are supported by 2D simulation results and enable the safe use of both the Couette analogy and the torque-to-stress conversion scheme for a 24-arm fVIC as well as validate it as a reliable rheometrical tool for characterization of a variety of complex fluids. …”
