Extensional Flow of Water and a Semi-Dilute Aqueous Solution of Polyethylene Oxide through Microfabricated Hyperbolic Contractions

The flow of a Newtonian fluid and a viscoelastic semi-dilute aqueous solution of polyethylene oxide (PEO) through microfabricated hyperbolic contractions was studied experimentally. A set of planar converging geometries, with total Hencky strains ranging from 1 to 3.7, were designed to produce an ex...
