Abstract

The interface between two immiscible fluids both is influenced (advected) by the imposed flow and influences (perturbs) it. The perturbation then changes the advection. This phenomenon is taken into account in an extended Doi-Ohta model of rheological behavior of immiscible blends. The agreement of the rheological predictions with experimental data is improved.
