Extensional rheology and elastic instabilities of a wormlike micellar solution in a microfluidic cross-slot device

Wormlike micellar surfactant solutions are encountered in a wide variety of important applications, including enhanced oil recovery and ink-jet printing, in which the fluids are subjected to high extensional strain rates. In this contribution we present an experimental investigation of the flow of a...
