Turbulence in dilute polymer solutions when polymers are strongly stretched by the flow is
investigated. We establish power-law spectra of velocity, that are not associated with a flux …

Following our first report (A Groisman and V Steinberg 2000 Nature 405 53), we present an
extended account of experimental observations of elasticity-induced turbulence in three …

We investigate high-Reynolds-number turbulence in dilute polymer solutions. We show the
existence of a critical value of the Reynolds number, which separates two different regimes …

The flow of polymer solutions is examined in a flow geometry where a jet is used to inject the
viscoelastic solution into a cylindrical tube. We show that this geometry allows for the …

We investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of polymer additives on two-
dimensional turbulence by means of a viscoelastic model. We provide compelling evidence …

We study the statistical properties of ensembles of polymers in isotropic turbulence
numerically in the one-way coupling regime. A linear polymer chain passively convected by …

By quantitative studies of statistics of polymer stretching in an elastic turbulence and the
statistical properties of this random flow itself that are characterized by the average …

When subjected to sufficiently strong velocity gradients, solutions of long, flexible polymers
exhibit flow instabilities and chaotic motion, often referred to as elastic turbulence. Its …

A viscous solvent laminar flow may be strongly modified by the addition of a tiny amount of
long polymer molecules, resulting in a chaotic flow called elastic turbulence (ET). ET is …

We experimentally investigate the flow of a viscoelastic fluid in a parallel shear geometry at
low Reynolds number. As the flow becomes unstable via a nonlinear subcritical instability …
