Shear-induced migration of emulsion droplets was tracked using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Migration rates increase with rotational speed and continuous phase viscosity, but droplet concentration effects are complex.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Colloid science
  • Rheology

Background:

  • Emulsion droplet migration under shear is understudied compared to solid particle migration.
  • Existing models inadequately describe emulsion behavior in semi-concentrated systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate shear-induced migration of emulsion droplets.
  • To develop and apply a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methodology for tracking droplet migration.
  • To analyze the influence of shear rate, viscosity, and concentration on migration.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to track emulsion droplet migration.
  • Employed a Couette cell for controlled shear flow experiments.
  • Investigated single droplets and concentrated emulsions in Newtonian fluids (water-in-silicone oil).

Main Results:

  • Migration rate and equilibrium extent increase with Couette rotational speed.
  • Higher continuous phase viscosity leads to greater equilibrium migration.
  • The relationship between droplet concentration and migration is complex and not fully explained by current models.

Conclusions:

  • Novel MRI technique successfully tracks emulsion droplet migration.
  • Experimental results challenge existing theoretical models for semi-concentrated emulsions.
  • Further research is needed to refine models for complex emulsion systems.
