Extensional rheological data from ex-situ measurements for predicting porous media behaviour of the viscoelastic EOR polymers.

ABSTRACT: In this article, extensional rheological data of various polymer solutions, to be used in Azad Trivedi viscoelastic model (AT-VEM) for predicting the viscoelastic behavior of synthetic polymer in porous media are provided. Extensional rheology measurements are performed for different polymer solutions using Capillary breakup extensional Rheometer (CaBER) to obtain the filament diameter with respect to time. Extensional rheological parameters, such as the extensional relaxation time, maximum elongational viscosity at the critical Deborah number and strain hardening index are determined from observed filament diameter with time-based on the Upper Convected Maxwell model, the finite extensible non-linear elastic model, and the power law model.

Rheological properties of porcine organs: measurements and fractional viscoelastic model.

Project description:The rheological properties of porcine heart, kidney, liver and brain were measured using dynamic oscillatory shear tests over a range of frequencies and shear strains. Frequency sweep tests were performed from 0.1 Hz to a maximum of 9.5 Hz at a shear strain of 0.1%, and strain sweep tests were carried out from 0.01% to 10% at 1 Hz. The effect of pre-compression of samples up to 10% axial strain was considered. The experimental measurements were fit to a Semi-Fractional Kelvin Voight (S-FKV) model. The model was then used to predict the stress relaxation in response to a step strain of 0.1%. The prediction was compared to experimental relaxation data for the porcine organ samples, and the results agreed to within 30%. In conclusion, this study measured the rheological properties of porcine organs and used a fractional viscoelastic model to describe the response in frequency and time domain.

Stagnation points control chaotic fluctuations in viscoelastic porous media flow.

Project description:Viscoelastic flows through porous media become unstable and chaotic beyond critical flow conditions, impacting widespread industrial and biological processes such as enhanced oil recovery and drug delivery. Understanding the influence of the pore structure or geometry on the onset of flow instability can lead to fundamental insights into these processes and, potentially, to their optimization. Recently, for viscoelastic flows through porous media modeled by arrays of microscopic posts, Walkama et al. [D. M. Walkama, N. Waisbord, J. S. Guasto, Phys. Rev. Lett 124, 164501 (2020)] demonstrated that geometric disorder greatly suppressed the strength of the chaotic fluctuations that arose as the flow rate was increased. However, in that work, disorder was only applied to one originally ordered configuration of posts. Here, we demonstrate experimentally that, given a slightly modified ordered array of posts, introducing disorder can also promote chaotic fluctuations. We provide a unifying explanation for these contrasting results by considering the effect of disorder on the occurrence of stagnation points exposed to the flow field, which depends on the nature of the originally ordered post array. This work provides a general understanding of how pore geometry affects the stability of viscoelastic porous media flows.

Measuring Cell Viscoelastic Properties Using a Microfluidic Extensional Flow Device.

Project description:The quantification of cellular mechanical properties is of tremendous interest in biology and medicine. Recent microfluidic technologies that infer cellular mechanical properties based on analysis of cellular deformations during microchannel traversal have dramatically improved throughput over traditional single-cell rheological tools, yet the extraction of material parameters from these measurements remains quite complex due to challenges such as confinement by channel walls and the domination of complex inertial forces. Here, we describe a simple microfluidic platform that uses hydrodynamic forces at low Reynolds number and low confinement to elongate single cells near the stagnation point of a planar extensional flow. In tandem, we present, to our knowledge, a novel analytical framework that enables determination of cellular viscoelastic properties (stiffness and fluidity) from these measurements. We validated our system and analysis by measuring the stiffness of cross-linked dextran microparticles, which yielded reasonable agreement with previously reported values and our micropipette aspiration measurements. We then measured viscoelastic properties of 3T3 fibroblasts and glioblastoma tumor initiating cells. Our system captures the expected changes in elastic modulus induced in 3T3 fibroblasts and tumor initiating cells in response to agents that soften (cytochalasin D) or stiffen (paraformaldehyde) the cytoskeleton. The simplicity of the device coupled with our analytical model allows straightforward measurement of the viscoelastic properties of cells and soft, spherical objects.

Extensional Magnetorheology of Viscoelastic Human Blood Analogues Loaded with Magnetic Particles.

Project description:This study represents a pioneering work on the extensional magnetorheological properties of human blood analogue fluids loaded with magnetic microparticles. Dynabeads M-270 particles were dispersed in Newtonian and viscoelastic blood analogue fluids at 5% wt. Capillary breakup experiments were performed, with and without the influence of an external magnetic field aligned with the flow direction. The presence of the particles increased the viscosity of the fluid, and that increment was larger when embedded within a polymeric matrix. The application of an external magnetic field led to an even larger increment of the viscosity of the working fluids, as the formation of small aggregates induced an increment in the effective volume fraction of particles. Regarding the liquid bridge stability, the Newtonian blood analogue fluid remained as a Newtonian liquid exhibiting a pinch-off at the breakup time in any circumstance. However, in the case of the viscoelastic blood analogue fluid, the presence of the particles and the simultaneous application of the magnetic field enhanced the formation of the beads-on-a-string structure, as the Ohnesorge number remained basically unaltered, whereas the time of the experiment increased due to its larger viscosity, which resulted in a decrease in the Deborah Number. This result was confirmed with fluids containing larger concentrations of xanthan gum.

Speckle rheological spectroscopy reveals wideband viscoelastic spectra of biological tissues.

Project description:Mechanical transformation of tissue is not merely a symptom but a decisive driver in pathological processes. Comprising intricate network of cells, fibrillar proteins, and interstitial fluid, tissues exhibit distinct solid- (elastic) and liquid-like (viscous) behaviours that span a wide band of frequencies. Yet, characterization of wideband viscoelastic behaviour in whole tissue has not been investigated, leaving a vast knowledge gap in the higher frequency range that is linked to fundamental intracellular processes and microstructural dynamics. Here, we present wideband Speckle rHEologicAl spectRoScopy (SHEARS) to address this need. We demonstrate, for the first time, analysis of frequency-dependent elastic and viscous moduli up to the sub-MHz regime in biomimetic scaffolds and tissue specimens of blood clots, breast tumours, and bone. By capturing previously inaccessible viscoelastic behaviour across the wide frequency spectrum, our approach provides distinct and comprehensive mechanical signatures of tissues that may provide new mechanobiological insights and inform novel disease prognostication.

Modeling the Phase Equilibria of Associating Polymers in Porous Media with Respect to Chromatographic Applications.

Project description:Associating copolymers self-assemble during their passage through a liquid chromatography (LC) column, and the elution differs from that of common non-associating polymers. This computational study aims at elucidating the mechanism of their unique and intricate chromatographic behavior. We focused on amphiphilic diblock copolymers in selective solvents, performed the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of their partitioning between a bulk solvent (mobile phase) and a cylindrical pore (stationary phase), and investigated the concentration dependences of the partition coefficient and of other functions describing the phase behavior. The observed abruptly changing concentration dependences of the effective partition coefficient demonstrate the significant impact of the association of copolymers with their partitioning between the two phases. The performed simulations reveal the intricate interplay of the entropy-driven and the enthalpy-driven processes, elucidate at the molecular level how the self-assembly affects the chromatographic behavior, and provide useful hints for the analysis of experimental elution curves of associating polymers.

The seepage flow characteristics of hydrophobically associated polymers with different aggregation behaviours in porous media.

Project description:The polymer solution for oil displacement is subjected to strong shear action in practical application, and this action will affect its percolation characteristics in porous media. The effects of mechanical shearing on the solution properties and seepage characteristics of modified hydrophobically associated polymers and dendrimers with two different aggregation behaviours were studied. The results showed that mechanical shearing did not affect hydrophobic microzones. Polymers can re-associate to restore part of the network structure, thereby improving shear resistance (dendritic hydrophobically associating polymers > hydrophobically modified partially hydrolysed polyacrylamide). Polymers with 'cluster' aggregation behaviour enhanced solution performance, enabling them to establish higher resistance coefficient (RF) and residual resistance factor (RRF) in porous media but also bringing about injection difficulties. Increasing the injection rate would increase the injection pressure, but the established RF and RRF showed a downward trend. Mechanical shear pretreatment effectively improved the injectability of the polymer. To achieve polymer injection and flow control, pre-shearing polymer solution and low-speed injection can be used in field applications.

Quantifying Induced Polarization of Conductive Inclusions in Porous Media and Implications for Geophysical Measurements.

Project description:Induced polarization (IP) mapping has gained increasing attention in the past decades, as electrical induced polarization has been shown to provide interesting signatures for detecting the presence of geological materials such as clay, ore, pyrite, and potentially, hydrocarbons. However, efforts to relate complex conductivities associated with IP to intrinsic physical properties of the corresponding materials have been largely empirical. Here we present a quantitative interpretation of induced polarization signatures from brine-filled rock formations with conductive inclusions and show that new opportunities in geophysical exploration and characterization could arise. Initially tested with model systems with solid conductive inclusions, this theory is then extended and experimentally tested with nanoporous conductors that are shown to have a distinctive spectral IP response. Several of the tests were conducted with nano-porous sulfides (pyrite) produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria grown in the lab in the presence of a hydrocarbon source, as well as with field samples from sapropel formations. Our discoveries and fundamental understanding of the electrode polarization mechanism with solid and porous conductive inclusions suggest a rigorous new approach in geophysical exploration for mineral deposits. Moreover, we show how induced polarization of biologically generated mineral deposits can yield a new paradigm for basin scale hydrocarbon exploration.

Topological Linking Drives Anomalous Thickening of Ring Polymers in Weak Extensional Flows.

Project description:Molecular dynamics simulations confirm recent extensional flow experiments showing ring polymer melts exhibit strong extension-rate thickening of the viscosity at Weissenberg numbers Wi?1. Thickening coincides with the extreme elongation of a minority population of rings that grows with Wi. The large susceptibility of some rings to extend is due to a flow-driven formation of topological links that connect multiple rings into supramolecular chains. Links form spontaneously with a longer delay at lower Wi and are pulled tight and stabilized by the flow. Once linked, these composite objects experience larger drag forces than individual rings, driving their strong elongation. The fraction of linked rings depends nonmonotonically on Wi, increasing to a maximum when Wi?1 before rapidly decreasing when the strain rate approaches 1/?_{e}.

Triggered micropore-forming bioprinting of porous viscoelastic hydrogels.

Project description:Cell-laden scaffolds of architecture and mechanics that mimic those of the host tissues are important for a wide range of biomedical applications but remain challenging to bioprint. To address these challenges, we report a new method called triggered micropore-forming bioprinting. The approach can yield cell-laden scaffolds of defined architecture and interconnected pores over a range of sizes, encompassing that of many cell types. The viscoelasticity of the bioprinted scaffold can match that of biological tissues and be tuned independently of porosity and stiffness. The bioprinted scaffold also exhibits superior mechanical robustness despite high porosity. The bioprinting method and the resulting scaffolds support cell spreading, migration, and proliferation. The potential of the 3D bioprinting system is demonstrated for vocal fold tissue engineering and as an in vitro cancer model. Other possible applications are foreseen for tissue repair, regenerative medicine, organ-on-chip, drug screening, organ transplantation, and disease modeling.
