The dissolution of minute concentration of polymers in wall-bounded flows is well-known for
its unparalleled ability to reduce turbulent friction drag. Another phenomenon, elasto-inertial …

A small amount of polymer additives can cause substantial reduction in the energy
dissipation and friction loss of turbulent flow. The problem of polymer-induced drag …

Turbulence is ubiquitous in nature, yet even for the case of ordinary Newtonian fluids like
water, our understanding of this phenomenon is limited. Many liquids of practical importance …

The use of sedimentary structures as indicators of flow and sediment morphodynamics in
ancient sediments lies at the very heart of sedimentology, and allows reconstruction of …

Addition of a small amount of very large polymer molecules or micelle-forming surfactants to
a liquid can dramatically reduce the energy dissipation it exhibits in the turbulent flow …

Elasto-inertial turbulence (EIT) is a new state of turbulence found in inertial flows with
polymer additives. The dynamics of turbulence generated and controlled by such additives …

The goal of the present study is threefold:(i) to demonstrate the two-dimensional nature of
the elasto-inertial instability in elasto-inertial turbulence (EIT),(ii) to identify the role of the …

The Oldroyd-B fluid has become the starting point for almost all complex flow calculations
and analysis involving the behavior of dilute polymer solutions. The reasons for this are …

The effects of polymer stresses on near-wall turbulent structures are examined by using
direct numerical simulation of fully developed turbulent channel flows with and without …

Polymer additives can substantially reduce the drag of turbulent flows and the upper limit,
the so-called state of 'maximum drag reduction'(MDR), is to a good approximation …
