Today there are many process mining techniques that, based on an event log, allow for the automatic induction of a process model. The process mining algorithms that are able to deal with incomplete event logs, exceptions, and noise typically have many parameters to tune the algor...

A sphere falling along the vorticity axis of a shear flow in a viscoelastic fluid is known to experience an increase in drag from the value in a quiescent fluid (van den Brule and Gheissary, 1993). Two recent papers have analysed the problem and this paper seeks to provide a simp...

Fluid mixing in two-and three-dimensional time-periodic cavity flows as a function of rheological fluid parameters is studied. Computational methods are applied to obtain accurate descriptions of the velocity fields, which form the basis of the mixing analysis. In addition to som...

The planar channel entry flow of a Newtown fluid containing neutrally buoyant, non-Brownian, slender particles is studied numerically. In particular, the effects of Reynolds number, Re, and a nondimensional suspension parameter, C, on the developing velocity and orientation field...

Air bubbles are injected into a Carbopol column capped with water to mimic ebullition from lake sediments. The first bubble sets an invisible path as it rises through the Carbopol. Subsequent bubbles rise along this path and, unlike the first bubble, break up into two separate bu...

The constitutive equations derived by Doi and Edwards and by Curtis and Bird from kinetic theory models are shown to possess a potential function U, which completely determines the strain-dependent memory fading. An exact expression for U is found, together with a good approximat...

Langmuir monolayers consist of amphiphilic molecules at the air–water interface and can be modeled as two-dimensional fluids. Earlier experiments [D.J. Olson, G.G. Fuller, J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 89 (2000) 187–207] on 4:1 contraction and 4:1 expansion flows have been simulat...

We investigate the flow dynamics of a viscoelastic fluid squeezed and extruded between two parallel plates. We use the Oldroyd-B fluid model to describe the fluid rheology, in an effort to capture the essential flow features. We unveil the force distribution in the flow-field, as...

Abstract An optical method, double laser speckle photography, is applied to the Weissenberg effect obtained with the fluid M1. The second normal stress coefficient is derived from the curvature of the free surface measured by this technique and from rheogoniometer data.

In many cases the familiar equations for the steady spinning of a viscoelastic filament can be solved without resort to differential equations. The method of solution is illustrated here using the Maxwell fluid as a model. The integral form of the Maxwell constitutive equation is...
