Dynamic wetting failure in shear-thinning and shear-thickening liquids. (English) Zbl 1460.76008

J. Fluid Mech. 892, Paper No. A1, 27 p. (2020).
Summary: Dynamic wetting failure in shear-thinning and shear-thickening liquids is examined in this paper. Flow visualization experiments using a curtain-coating geometry suggest that shear thinning postpones the onset of wetting failure and the resulting air entrainment. To advance the fundamental understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms, a hydrodynamic model consisting of liquid displacing air in a rectangular channel in the absence of inertia is developed. Both shear thinning and shear thickening are considered by using Carreau-type models to describe the liquid rheology. Steady-state solutions are calculated using the Galerkin finite-element method and the critical capillary number where wetting failure occurs is identified. Shear thinning is found to postpone the onset of wetting failure whereas shear thickening is found to promote it. The underlying mechanism involves thickening/thinning of the air film as a consequence of shear thinning/thickening of the liquid and the tangential stress balance. The results can be interpreted in terms of an effective viscosity, and demonstrate that similar physical mechanisms govern dynamic wetting failure in Newtonian, shear-thinning and shear-thickening liquids.
