abstract = {We report experiments employing x-ray photon correlation
spectroscopy (XPCS) to characterize the velocity profiles of
complex fluids in Couette flow. The approach involves
modeling the XPCS correlation functions obtained with the
incident x-ray beam passing tangentially through the Couette
cell gap at various distances from the inner wall. We first
demonstrate the technique with measurements on a dilute
colloidal dispersion in the Newtonian liquid glycerol, where
the expected linear velocity profiles are recovered. We then
employ the technique to map the shear-rate-dependent
velocity profiles of a shear-thinning dispersion of
nematically ordered Gibbsite platelets. The nonlinear
velocity profiles of the Gibbsite dispersion include a
narrow slip region adjacent to the outer wall and a band
with small velocity gradient in the interior of the gap that
evolves into a region increasingly resembling plug flow with
increasing shear rate. Variations in the velocity profile
along the vorticity direction indicate an instability in the
interface between this region of small velocity gradient and
a region of high velocity gradient near the inner wall.
Analysis of the small-angle scattering patterns provides
information about the spatial and temporal variations in the
nematic order of the Gibbsite dispersion and their coupling
to the velocity profile. Additional potential applications
of this XPCS-based technique and comparisons with
established methods for characterizing velocity profiles are
discussed.},
