Abstract

: We have studied nonlinear flow behavior of entangled DNA solutions using particle tracking velocimetry in Couette and cone/plate geometries. At apparent shear rate γ app 40 s -1 , the velocity profile progressively curves and becomes banded with a sharp interface after hundreds of strain units. In the steady state, the thickness of high-shear band increases linearly with the apparent shear rate. At γ yapp = 1000 s -1 , the velocity profile returns to linearity.
