Viscoelastic fluids flowing through porous media have been shown to provide improvements
in oil displacement efficiency resulting from a favorable mobility ratio. In this study, we …

Viscous fingering is a commonly observed interfacial instability during fluid displacement,
where a fingerlike shape is formed at the fluid interface when a more viscous fluid is …

Viscoelastic instabilities are notoriously sensitive to their geometrical environment.
Consequently, understanding the onset and general behavior of viscoelastic instabilities in …

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has emerged as a popular approach to simulate
complex non-Newtonian fluid mechanics problems, such as those involving viscoelastic …

In this work, we show that the double-periodic boundary conditions typically applied in
numerical simulations of elastic turbulence can lead to significantly incorrect results if not …

We consider an immersed elastic body that is actively driven through a structured fluid by a
motor or an external force. The behavior of such a system generally cannot be solved …

Simulations of elastic turbulence, the chaotic flow of highly elastic and inertialess polymer
solutions, are plagued by numerical difficulties: The chaotically advected polymer …

Many important practical applications involving porous media, cosmetics, biological
systems, and food processing involve the transport of non-Newtonian fluids, which possess …

To simulate elastic turbulence, where viscoelasticity dominates, numerical solvers introduce
an artificial stress diffusivity term to handle the steep polymer stress gradients that ensue …

This research develops a hybrid numerical model to investigate the electrohydrodynamic
effects on multicomponent viscoelastic fluids. By combining the lattice Boltzmann and finite …
