The spatial profiles of polymer velocity and deformation along the course of such a laminar extensional flow have been carefully analyzed. The results appear consistent with experimental observations in literature. In the entrance and exit regions, a linear dependence of chain extension upon the excess velocity has been observed. Moreover, an annexed shear flow and a molecular-dispersion effect are found. The results demonstrate a useful strategy of this approach to study polymer flows and bring new insights into the non-Newtonian-fluid behaviors of bulk polymers in capillary rheometers and micro-fluidic devices.展开更多

A concept of anisotropic viscoelastic simple fluid is introduced. The stress tensor instead of the velocity gradient tensor D in the classic Leslie-Ericksen theory is described by the first Rivlin-Ericksen tensor A and a spin tensor W measured with respect to a co-rotational coordinate system. A model LCP-H on this theory is proposed and the characteristic unsymmetric behaviour of the shear stress is predicted for LC polymer liquids. Two shear stresses thereby in shear flow of LC polymer liquids lead to internal vortex flow and rotational flow.

By using the equation, extrusion-extensional flows of the fluid are studied for fiber spinning of LC polymer melts, the elongational viscosity vs. extension rate with variation of shear rate is given in figures. A considerable increase of elongational viscosity and bifurcation behaviour are observed when the orientational motion of the director vector is considered. The contraction of extru- date of LC polymer melts is caused by the high elongational viscosity.
