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 …

Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are
encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of …

The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides
comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

Viscoelastic plane Poiseuille flow is shown to become linearly unstable in the absence of
inertia, in the limit of high elasticities, for ultradilute polymer solutions. While inertialess …

A modal stability analysis shows that plane Poiseuille flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid becomes
unstable to a 'centre mode'with phase speed close to the maximum base-flow velocity,. Our …

Mixing in microscale flows, where turbulence is inherently difficult to generate, has been a
challenging issue owing to its laminar flow characteristics. Either the diffusion-based mixing …
