| Överskrift | Extensional rupture of model non-Newtonian fluid filaments |
| Beskrivning | We present molecular dynamics computer simulations of filaments of a model non-Newtonian liquid stretched in a uniaxial deformation to the point of breaking. The liquid consists of Lennard-Jones monomers bound into chains of 100 monomers by nonlinear springs, and several different constant-velocity and constant-strain-rate deformations are considered. Generally we observe nonuniform extensions originating in an interplay between the stretching forces and elastic and capillary restoring mechanisms, leading to highly uneven shapes and alternating stretched and unstretched regions of liquid. Except at the fastest pulling speeds, the filaments continue to thin indefinitely and break only when depleted of molecules, rather than due to common viscoelastic rupture mechanisms. |
