Surfactant solutions that form wormlike micelles are found to display complex rheological behavior and exhibit many instabilities ranging from finger-like structures to vorticity banding. These solutions have also been found to display drag reduction at levels comparable to, and in some cases exceeding, those of polymer solutions. Despite their practical importance and a plethora of experiments demonstrating their interesting rheology, the dynamics and flow behaviors of wormlike micelle solutions remain poorly understood, particularly from theoretical and computational perspectives. There are currently few models able to predict and capture dilute wormlike micelle rheology, and even fewer that can be implemented in computational fluid dynamics simulations. Motivated by this lack and the numerous applications for these solutions, the main objectives in this thesis are to develop an accurate and tractable model for dilute wormlike micelle solutions and to use this model in simulations to study complex flow phenomena. In Chapter 1, we introduce many of the concepts associated with viscoelastic fluids and motivate this study by exploring applications of dilute wormlike micelle solutions. We then dive into the chemistry of wormlike micelle solutions, before giving an overview of their complex rheology and the numerous instabilities that can develop in these flows. Since much of this thesis is focused on the development of models for wormlike micelle solutions, we summarize the derivations and predictions of some of the most widely studied models for these systems and focus on their successes and drawbacks. In Chapter 2, we derive a model for dilute wormlike micelle solutions, the reformulated reactive rod model (RRM-R); the RRM-R, which treats micelles as reactive Brownian rods undergoing reversible scission and fusion, is an improvement to a previous model (the RRM) meant to establish the model on a more physical grounding. We show that the model can predict many of the key rheological features of dilute wormlike micelle solutions: shear-thickening and -thinning, non-zero normal stress differences, and a reentrant flow curve. We demonstrate the ability of the RRM-R to predict both steady and transient dynamics, affirming its potential for studying instability formation, and show that it can be successfully fit to experimental data. After having derived and established the RRM-R, we then employ it in Chapter 3 to study the development of instabilities in circular Couette flow. We apply a stability analysis of the steady states and find that the spatial-dependence of the stress gives rise to flow profiles with mixed local stabilities. Using simulations we find that the RRM-R captures finger-like instabilities, which consist of branching structures of highly elongated, anisotropically-oriented micelles. These 'fingers' have previously been identified in experiments of dilute wormlike micelle solutions. The instability is identified to be 2D in nature, with 3D variations arising as secondary effects. We also show that the RRM-R can capture vorticity banding, and that this banded state is linearly stable to perturbations. In Chapter 4 we extend the works of the previous chapter to focus on plane Poiseuille flow of dilute wormlike micelle solutions. The spatial-dependence of the stress causes the flow to 'jump' between upper and lower branches of the constitutive curve, giving rise to a state that resembles viscosity-stratified flows. As has been observed for viscosity-stratified flows, we find that the 'interface' between regions is unstable due to a combination of viscosity mismatch and a normal stress jump across the interface. The destabilized flow fluctuates around the unstable region of the constitutive curve. The resulting instability resembles the finger-like structures observed in circular Couette flow, but now both longwave and shortwave structures appear; the longwave structures are observed to resemble mushroom patterns seen in core-annular channel flow. We perform 3D simulations and find that the initial instability is 2D. We switch gears in Chapter 5 to focus on deriving a thermodynamically consistent version of the RRM-R. There has been a recent push in the rheology community to re-derive many well-studied models for viscoelastic fluids, as well as derive new models, using the generalized bracket framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics; this framework allows researchers to enforce conservation of energy and non-negative entropy generation in these models. Motivated by this push, we use the single generator bracket framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to derive three models, two based on the general evolution and relaxation of a structural variable and a third that considers the dynamics of micelles as a reversible reaction. We employ Poisson and dissipation brackets along with a description of the system Hamiltonian to ascertain and ensure the thermodynamic admissibility of these models. This section also provides a substantial background into applying non-equilibrium dynamics to fluid systems. Finally, we conclude this thesis with a summary of our findings and proposals for future directions in Chapter 6. These future directions are focused on (1) improvements to the RRM-R to account for micelle flexibility and population distributions, (2) investigating the RRM-R in new flow types and domains, and (3) using the RRM-R to study more complex instabilities, turbulence, and drag reduction in dilute wormlike micelle solutions.
