Recently, research on particle migration in non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluids has gained
considerable attention. In a viscoelastic fluid, three dimensional (3D) particle focusing can …

A small amount of polymer additives can cause substantial reduction in the energy
dissipation and friction loss of turbulent flow. The problem of polymer-induced drag …

Polymer solutions are frequently used in enhanced oil recovery and groundwater
remediation to improve the recovery of trapped nonaqueous fluids. However, applications …

Polymer flooding most commonly uses partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides (HPAM)
injected to increase the declining oil production from mature fields. Apart from the improved …

The microfluidic flow is typically laminar due to the dominant viscous effects. At Reynolds
numbers far below 1 (Re≪ 1), the fluid inertia can be neglected. For the steady flow of …

Collagen fibers in the 3D tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibit complex alignment
landscapes that are critical in directing cell migration through a process called contact …

Polymer additives can substantially reduce the drag of turbulent flows and the upper limit,
the so-called state of 'maximum drag reduction'(MDR), is to a good approximation …

The rheological characterisation of liquids finds application in several fields ranging from
industrial production to the medical practice. Conventional rheometers are the gold standard …

Development of effective technologies for mixing viscoelastic solutions with reagents is still a
challenge, which plays an important role in the fields of disease diagnosis, water …

Fracturing plays an extremely important role in increasing oil and gas production, however,
the fracturing flowback fluid has problems such as large volume, difficult treatment, high …
