Viscoelastic surface instabilities
[Instabilités interfaciales dans les liquides visco-élastiques]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 10 (2009) no. 8, pp. 712-727.

Nous discutons dans ce papier trois types d'instabilités interfaciales dans des liquides visco-élastiques : l'instabilité de Rayleigh–Plateau, l'instabilité de Saffman–Taylor et l'instabilité de Faraday. Ce sont toutes les trois des exemples typiques d'instabilités hydrodynamiques de surface. L'addition d'une faible quantité de polymères à de l'eau pure suffit à lui conférer un comportement fortement non-newtonien. Les instabilités dans ces solutions sont modifiées pas seulement de façon quantitative mais aussi dans leur nature. Nous montrons que des modèles rhéologiques simples peuvent expliquer l'origine des modifications observées sur les instabilités. Une description quantitative n'est en général possible uniquement près du seuil d'instabilité et uniquement pour des déviations faibles d'un comportement newtonien. Une description complète loin de l'équilibre et pour des propriétés non-newtoniennes fortes manque à ce jour.

We review three different types of viscoelastic surface instabilities: The Rayleigh–Plateau, the Saffman–Taylor and the Faraday instabilities. These instabilities are classical examples of hydrodynamic surface instabilities. The addition of a small amount of polymer to pure water can alter its flow behavior drastically and the type of instability may change not only quantitatively but also qualitatively. We will show that some of the observed new phenomena can be explained by the use of simple rheological models that contain most of the underlying physical mechanisms leading to the instability. A quantitative description however is often only possible close to the onset of the instability or for weak deviations from Newtonian behavior. A complete theoretical description is still lacking when the system is driven far from equilibrium or for fluids with strong non-Newtonian behavior.
