We present the first quantitative experimental measurements of the transient motion of a sphere as it accelerates from rest along the centerline of a tube containing a highly elastic, shear-thinning, aqueous polyacrylamide solution. For all shear-rate-dependent Deborah numbers (1.6⩽De(γ)⩽4.2) and sphere-to-tube ratios (0.089⩽a/R⩽0.387) investigated, transient oscillations in the velocity of the sphere are observed, often causing the sphere to “rebound,” or reverse directions during the first oscillation. These measurements are in qualitative agreement with the analysis of King and Waters (1972) who presented an analytic solution for the transient motion of a sphere through an unbounded domain of fluid described by the linear Jeffreys model. We also show a similar response in one-dimensional creep experiments which are described quantitatively by a multimode formulation of the upper-convected Maxwell model including a solvent retardation term. Such experiments isolate the shear kinematics from the combine...
