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 …

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

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 …

An analytical model is presented for the transverse permeability of gas diffusion layer (GDL)
based on an ordered array of parallel charged circular cylinders at the steady state. The …

A Boger fluid is an elastic liquid with a constant viscosity. Because the viscosity is
independent of shear rate or nearly so, elastic effects can be separated from viscous effects …

In this study, the transverse permeability of fibrous porous media is studied both
experimentally and theoretically. A scale analysis technique is employed for determining the …

In this study, the permeability of ordered fibrous media towards normal and parallel flow is
determined analytically. In this approach, porous material is represented by a “unit cell” …

Viscoelastic flows through porous media become unstable and chaotic beyond critical flow
conditions, impacting widespread industrial and biological processes such as enhanced oil …

We experimentally investigate the flow of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) solution with
and without salt in model porous media at high Weissenberg numbers (Wi> 1.0). The effect …

The creeping flow of a dilute (0.025 wt%) monodisperse polystyrene/polystyrene Boger fluid
through a 4: 1: 4 axisymmetric contraction/expansion is experimentally observed for a wide …
