The influence of inertia and elasticity on the onset and stability of Rayleigh–Bénard thermal
convection is examined for highly elastic polymeric solutions with constant viscosity. These …

Recent experiments on the response of individual, long DNA strands to externally-applied
tension and fluid shear suggest that semi-dilute, aqueous suspensions of these molecules …
