Fractures in complex fluids: the case of transient networks
We present a comprehensive review of the cur- rent state of fracture phenomena in transient networks, a wide class of viscoelastic fluids. We will first define what is... -
Multiscale rheology of liquid foams
Aqueous foams are constituted of concentrated gas bubble dispersions in a surfactant solution. Like other complex fluids, such as emulsions or pastes, foam behaves as... -
Rheology and pipe flow of complex fluids : urban application : experimental s...
This experimental work is a contribution to the study of rheological and pipe flow proprieties of complex fluids (yield stress and thixotropic). Bentonite suspensions... -
Sub-micron flow of complex fluids
Rheology of high molecular weight polymer solutions at submicroscale is investigated, with a particular emphasis on the wall slip characterization. Our approach is to... -
Complex fluid flows and interface dynamics in microfluidic systems
To better understand enhanced oil recovery processes, we performed immiscible biphasic flows in microfluidic geometries, involving oil phases and aqueous phases. We... -
Rheology of thin films from flow observations

Correlation between birefringent bands and shear bands in surfactant solutions
We ask the question of whether birefringent bands observed during stress plateaus when shearing certain surfactant solutions correspond to shear banding, i.e., a... -
Slow relaxation mode in concentrated oil-in-water microemulsions consisting o...

Hydrodynamics of microswimmers
The suspensions of microscopic objects with the ability to propel themselves into the surrounding fluid are systems of growing interest in the scientific community....
