The advection of shear-induced structures (SISs) was visualized for cationic dilute surfactant solutions in a rectangular channel flow and an impinging wall jet. The SISs visualized here were transparent and distinguished as the macroscopic dark structures in contrast to the background light-scattering micelles. The SIS phase was separated from the solution and behaved like an elastic gel. In the rectangular channel flow, the threadlike SISs of centimeter order length appeared to be aligned in the direction of the flow, and the average thread length was increased with the Reynolds number and turbulent drag reduction. Although the origin of the threadlike SISs was not clear in the fully developed rectangular channel, the impinging flow developed in the streamwise direction and revealed the growing process of the SISs. The viscoelastic solution with equimolar counterions rolled up the wall SIS layer in the impinging flow, and built the cylindrical sheet-like SIS. In contrast, the solution with excess counterions presented the generation of a transparent gel-like SIS from a turbid wall shear layer, and produced a ring-like SIS. The shapes of the phase-separated SISs were dependent on both flow geometry and fluid viscoelasticity.

See supplementary material at http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.4967955 for S1, supplementary movie 1 [movie of Fig. 5(c)]: Oblique and horizontal cross sections at Reynolds number Rew = 10 000. The solution is 800 ppm × 10. The threadlike SISs pass through the horizontal and oblique cross sections. The height of the horizontal cross section is y = 4 mm. The recording frame rate is 500 fps, and the movie is played at a rate fifty times slower than the actual flow. The small bubble denoted by a circle flows along the curved threadlike SIS. The curvilinear bubble motion suggests that the threadlike SISs disturb the bubble motion because of the phase-separated gel-like SIS structure. S2, supplementary movie 2 (3-D profiles of SISs): The three dimensional profiles of threadlike SISs were constructed from the oblique cross sections of supplementary movie 1. The colored oblique cross section moves from the downstream to the upstream direction, and this movement corresponds to the temporal change in the oblique cross section in supplementary movie 1. S3, supplementary movie 3 (validation of SIS transparency): An array of transparent acryl rods is immersed in turbid liquid (diluted paint dispersion). A laser sheet is radiated to the transparent rods in the turbid liquid. The rods look dark in the turbid liquid similar to the dark threadlike SISs. This experiment demonstrates that the dark SISs are transparent in contrast with the light-scattering micelle solution. S4, supplementary movie 4 [movie of Figs. 9(a)–9(d)]: This movie depicts the generation of the cylindrical sheet-like SIS, which is presented in Figs. 9(a)–9(d). The solution is 500 ppm × 1 and the Reynolds number is Rew = 3000. The recording frame rate is 100 fps, and the movie is played at a rate three times slower than the actual flow. S5, supplementary movie 5 [frontal view of Figs. 9(a)–9(d)]: The frontal view of the cylindrical sheet-like SIS, which corresponds to Fig. 9(e). The solution is 500 ppm × 1 and the Reynolds number is Rew = 3000. This movie was recorded using a digital camera (D5100, Nikon, Japan). S6, supplementary movie 6 [movie of Figs. 10(a)–10(d)]: This movie depicts the change from turbid to transparent (dark) SISs, which is presented in Figs. 10(a)–10(d). The solution is 500 ppm × 10 and the Reynolds number is Rew = 8000. The recording frame rate is 3000 fps, and the movie is played at a rate three hundred times slower than the actual flow. S7, supplementary movie 7 (ring-like SIS): The frontal view of the ring-like SIS, which corresponds to Fig. 10(e). The solution is 500 ppm × 10 and the Reynolds number is Rew = 8000. This movie was recorded using a digital camera. S8, supplementary 3-Dpdf [3-D figure of Fig. 7(d)]: Three dimensional pdf of Fig. 7(d). The solution is 800 ppm × 10 and the Reynolds number is Rew = 10 000.
