Since the seminal studies by Osborne Reynolds in the nineteenth century, pipe flow has
served as a primary prototype for investigating the transition to turbulence in wall-bounded …

Thermally driven turbulent flows are omnipresent in nature and technology. A good
understanding of the physical principles governing such flows is key for numerous problems …

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 …

Wall-bounded turbulence exhibits patterns that persist in time and space: coherent
structures. These are important for transport processes and form a conceptual framework for …

Organized structures in turbulent jets can be modeled as wavepackets. These are
characterized by spatial amplification and decay, both of which are related to stability …

The Oldroyd-B model has been used extensively to predict a host of instabilities in shearing
flows of viscoelastic fluids, often realized experimentally using polymer solutions. The …

The generation of a magnetic field in an electrically conducting fluid generally involves the
complicated nonlinear interaction of flow turbulence, rotation and field. This dynamo process …

Many energy, environmental, industrial, and microfluidic processes rely on the flow of
polymer solutions through porous media. Unexpectedly, the macroscopic flow resistance …

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 …

Understanding inhomogeneous and anisotropic fluid flows requires mathematical and
computational tools that are tailored to such flows and distinct from methods used to …
