Shear viscosity of aluminum studied by shock compression considering elasto-plastic effects

The strength always exists before the material melts. In this paper, the viscoelastic-plastic model is applied to improve the finite difference method, and the numerical solutions for the disturbance amplitude damping behavior of the sinusoidal shock front in a flyer-impact experiment are obtained. When the aluminum is shocked to 101 GPa, the effect of elasto-plasticity on the zero-amplitude point of the oscillatory damping curve is the same as that of viscosity when η= 700 Pa.s, and the real shear viscosity coefficient of the shocked aluminum is determined to be about 2800±100 Pa.s. Comparing the experiment data with the numerical results of the viscoelastic-plastic model, we find that the aluminum is close to melting at 101 GPa.

Shear Viscosity of Hot QED at Finite Chemical Potential from Kubo Formula

Within the framework of finite temperature field theory this paper discusses the shear viscosity of hot QED plasma through Kubo formula at one-loop skeleton diagram level with a finite chemical potential The effective widths (damping rates) are introduced to regulate the pinch singularities and then gives a reliable estimation of the shear viscous coefficient.The finite chemical potential contributes positively compared to the pure temperature case. The result agrees with that from the kinetics theory qualitatively.

The shear viscosity （7） and entropy density （s） are studied for the central Au＋Au collisions with the help of a microscopic transport model, namely the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamic model （IQMD）. Employ the formula given in Ref.

Influence of Reverse Pressure on the Shear Viscosity of Hydrophilic Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Melt

The effect of reverse pressure.on theological behavior has been studied. The apparatus is a capillary rheometer with counter pressure chamber being held at a high reverse pressure by means of a cock. The results show that with the increase in temperature, the shear viscosity of hydrophilic PET is reduced. It is different that the effect of temperature on shear viscosity is varied under the condition of all shear rates or all pressures, and the effect is more prominent at 50 MPa or at 216 s^-1. At the same time, the pressure coefficients decrease with increasing the shear rate and the temperature and tend to reach a constant value nearly at the temperature of 290 ℃.

Power law of shear viscosity in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion model

We construct charged black hole solutions with hyperscaling violation in the infrared（IR） region in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion theory and investigate the temperature behavior of the ratio of holographic shear viscosity to the entropy density. When translational symmetry breaking is relevant in the IR, the power law of the ratio is verified numerically at low temperature T, namely, η/s ～ T^κ, where the values of exponent κ coincide with the analytical results. We also find that the exponent κ is not affected by irrelevant current, but is reduced by the relevant current.

Neighboring azimuthal bin-bin multiplicity correlation as a direct measure for the shear viscosity in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Neighboring azimuthal bin-bin multiplicity correlation is suggested to be a good measure for internal layer-to-layer interactions of the formed matter in relativistic heavy ion collisions. It is shown to be directly related to the shear viscosity of the formed matter. As an application of this method, the shear viscosity in the samples generated by a multi-phase transport model （AMPT） is estimated. The results are in qualitative agreement with the theoretical calculation from microscopic interactions, i.e., the larger the scattering cross section, the smaller the shear viscosity.

High Temperature Rheological Performance of Graphene Modified Rubber Asphalt

To elucidate the high temperature rheological capability of graphene modified rubber asphalt,three contents of graphene and crumb rubber were prepared by a combination of mechanical agitation and high speed shearing machine,then used dynamic shear rheological test(DSR)and multiple stress creep recovery(MSCR)tests to evaluate.The hardness and softening point with rotational viscosity of samples raised with the addition of graphene,especially the addition of 0.04%.Dynamic shear rheological test revealedthat the dynamic shear modulus G*,rutting factor G*/Sin δ,and zero shear viscosity(ZSV)of graphene-modified rubber asphalt were greatly influenced along with graphene-increased,on the contrary,phase angle δ which characterize the viscoelastic ratio of asphalt decreased.Multiple stress creep recovery(MSCR)tests showed that the graphene-enhanced rubber asphalt had high-temperature stability through non-recoverable creep compliance(Jnr).Based on these findings,graphene-modified rubber asphalt binders with the addition of 0.04% graphene had good viscoelastic properties as well as high temperature rutting resistance performance.In the meantime,G*/Sin δ,ZSV,and Jnr100,Jnr3200 have good correlation,which can reveal the excellent high-temperature stability performance of asphalt.

Viscosity of aluminum under shock-loading conditions

A reliable data treatment method is critical for viscosity measurements using the disturbance amplitude damping method of shock waves. In this paper the finite difference method is used to obtain the numerical solutions for the disturbance amplitude damping behaviour of the sinusoidal shock front in a flyer-impact experiment. The disturbance amplitude damping curves are used to depict the numerical solutions of viscous flow. By fitting the experimental data to the numerical solutions of different viscosities, we find that the effective shear viscosity coefficients of shocked aluminum at pressures of 42, 78 and 101 GPa are （1500±100） Pas, （2800±100） Pa.s and （3500±100） Pa.s respectively. It is clear that the shear viscosity of aluminum increases with an increase in shock pressure, so aluminum does not melt below a shock pressure of 101 GPa. This conclusion is consistent with the sound velocity measurement.

Interfacial properties of Daqing crude oil-alkaline system

The oil/water interfacial properties of crude oil emulsions formed by alkaline/surfactant/ polymer（ASP） flooding in the Daqing Oilfield were investigated in this paper by the measurement of interfacial tension,interfacial shear viscosity and Zeta potential of the oil/water system.The result showed that both NaOH and Na_2CO_3 could react with acid substances in the crude oil to produce interfacially active components,which are adsorbed on the interfaces between the aqueous phase and oil phase, resulting in a decrease of the interfacial tension,negatively charging the surface of oil droplets,but making little change in the interfacial shear viscosity.For the same ionic strength of NaOH and Na_2CO_3, the interfacial tension of NaOH solution-crude oil system is lower,but the interfacial shear viscosity of NaOH solution-crude oil system is higher,than that of Na_2CO_3 solution-crude oil system.The negative value of the Zeta potential on the surface of the oil droplets is large.Accordingly,the O/W emulsion of NaOH solution-crude oil system is more stable than that of Na_2CO_3 solution-crude oil system.

Effect of Petroleum Sulphonate on Interfacial Property and Stability of Crude Oil Emulsions

The influence of petroleum sulphonate (TRS) on interfacial properties and stability of the emulsions formed by formation water and asphaltene, resin and crude model oils from Gudong crude oil was investigated by measurement of interfacial shear viscosity, interfacial tension (IFT) and emulsion stability. With increasing petroleum sulphonate concentration, IFT between the formation water and the asphaltene, resin and crude model oils decreases significantly. The interfacial shear viscosity and emulsion stability of asphaltene and crude model oil system increase for the petroleum sulphonate concentration in the range 0.1% to 0.3%, and decrease slightly when the concentration of the surfactant is 0.5%. There exists a close correlation between the interfacial shear viscosity and the stability of the emulsions formed by asphaltene or crude model oils and petroleum sulphonate solution.The stability of the emulsions is determined by the strength of the interfacial film formed of petroleum sulphonate molecules and the natural interfacial active components in the asphaltene fraction and the crude oil. The asphaltene in the crude oil plays a major role in determining the interfacial properties and the stability of the emulsions.

A STUDY ON THE BOUNDARY LAYER FOR THE PLANAR MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS SYSTEM

The paper aims to estimate the thickness of the boundary layer for the planar MHD system with vanishing shear viscosity μ. Under some conditions on the initial and boundary data, we show that the thickness is of the order √μ｜lnμ｜. Note that this estimate holds also for the Navier-Stokes system so that it extends the previous works even without the magnetic effect.

Asymptotic Lifshitz-Like Solution in Lovelock Gravity (n=3)

With R^2 and R^3 corrections to asymptotical Lifshitz space-time, we obtain pure Lovelock gravity solution and solution with non-trivial matter in 7-dimensional space-time. Then we obtain the general solution for any arbitrary dimensional space. In this paper, we also study black brane solutions in 7-dimensionai Lifshitz space-time via the method of perturbation. And we popularize the black brane solution to arbitrary higher dimensions and discuss the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density ratio η/s. Then we analyze the result of η/s to find that the correction of n-th （n ≥ 3） order Lovelock term has trivial influence to η/s.

Shear and bulk viscosity of high-temperature gluon plasma

We calculate the shear viscosity（η） and bulk viscosity（ζ） to entropy density（s） ratios η/s and ζ/s of a gluon plasma system in kinetic theory, including both the elastic gg←→gg forward scattering and the inelastic soft gluon bremsstrahlung gg←→ggg processes. Due to the suppressed contribution to η and ζ in the gg←→gg forward scattering and the effective g←→gg gluon splitting, Arnold, Moore and Yaffe（AMY） and Arnold, Dogan and Moore（ADM） have got the leading order computations for η and ζ in high-temperature QCD matter. In this paper, we calculate the correction to η and ζ in the soft gluon bremsstrahlung gg←→ggg process with an analytic method.We find that the contribution of the collision term from the gg←→ggg soft gluon bremsstrahlung process is just a small perturbation to the gg←→gg scattering process and that the correction is at～ 5% level. Then, we obtain the bulk viscosity of the gluon plasma for the number-changing process. Furthermore, our leading-order result for bulk viscosity is the formula ζ∝（αs^2 T^3）/（lnαs^-1） in high-temperature gluon plasma.

On Regularity of Incompressible Fluid with Shear Dependent Viscosity

The authors consider a non-Newtonian fluid governed by equations with p-structure in a cubic domain.A fluid is said to be shear thinning(or pseudo-plastic) if 1 < p < 2,and shear thickening(or dilatant) if p > 2.The case p > 2 is considered in this paper.To improve the regularity results obtained by Crispo,it is shown that the secondorder derivatives of the velocity and the first-order derivative of the pressure belong to suitable spaces,by appealing to anisotropic Sobolev embeddings.

Modeling the Rheological Characteristics of Flexible High-Yield Pulp-Fibre-Reinforced Bio-Based Nylon 11 Bio-Composite

The aim of this work was to develop a mathematical model to investigate the rheological characteristics of viscoelastic pulp-fibre composite materials. The rheological properties of High-Yield Pulp (HYP) reinforced bio-based Nylon 11 (Polyamide 11) (PA11) composite (HYP/PA11) were investigated using a capillary rheometer. Novel predicted multiphase rheological-model-based polymer, fibre, and interphasial phases were developed. Rheological characteristics of the compo-site components influence the development of resultant microstructures;this in turn affects mechanical characteristics of a multiphase composite. The main rheological characteristics of polymer materials are viscosity and shear rate. Experimental and theoretical test results of HYP/PA11 show a steep decrease in apparent viscosity with increasing shear rate, and this melt-flow characteristic corresponds to shear-thinning behavior in HYP/PA11. The non-linear mathematical model to predict the rheological behavior of HYP/PA11 was validated experimentally at 200°C and 5000 S-1?shear rate. Finally, predicted and experimental viscosity results were compared and found to be in a strong agreement.

Shear transformation zone dependence of creep behaviors of amorphous phase in a CuZr-based bulk metallic glass composite

The creep behaviors of the amorphous phase in a CuZr-based bulk metallic glass composite(BMGC)are studied by nanoindentation.Samples fabricated via higher cooling rates are found to exhibit more prominent creep,but a smaller shear viscosity.The volume of the shear transformation zones(STZs)in the amorphous phase calculated based on a cooperative shear model increases with the cooling rate.The evolution of excess free volume created during creep deformation is clarified.A looser atomic arrangement leads to a larger STZ volume,thus facilitating creep deformation.This study gives a better understanding of the deformation behaviors of the amorphous phase in BMGCs.

In this paper we study the equations governing the unsteady motion of an incompressible homogeneous generalized second grade fluid subject to periodic boundary conditions. We establish the existence of global-in-time strong solutions for shear thickening flows in the two and three dimensional case. We also prove uniqueness of such solution without any smallness condition on the initial data or restriction on the material moduli.

Estimation of transport coefficients of dense hadronic and quark matter

In this study,we calculated transport coefficients including the shear viscosity and electrical conductivity relative to the density of dense hadronic and quark matter.By considering the simple massless limit for the quark matter and two different effective models for the hadronic matter,we estimated the transport coefficients of the two phases separately.Accordingly,density profiles of the transport coefficients were depicted in two parts:the phasespace part and the relaxation time part.From calculating the shear viscosity to density ratio,we also explored the nearly perfect fluid domain of the quark and hadronic matter.
