The progress made during the past decade in the application of mixed finite element
methods to solve viscoelastic flow problems using differential constitutive equations is …

One of the most puzzling properties of branched polymers is their unusual viscoelasticity in
the melt state. We review the challenges set by both non-linear experiments in extension …

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 …

The dynamics of entangled flexible polymers is dominated by physics general to many
chemical systems. It is an appealing interdisciplinary field where experimental and …

The following sections are included: Advances in Mathematical Modelling Dynamics of
Dilute Polymer Solutions The Rouse model Dumbbell models Closure Approximations …

We investigate the effects of viscoelasticity on drop generation in inkjet printing. In drop-on-
demand printing, individual ink 'drops' are ejected from a nozzle by imposed pressure …

Jet formation and break-up in inkjet printing has been studied and understood mainly for
pure liquids. Questions remain as to the role of surfactants on the inkjet printing process at …

For the simplest non-linear kinetic theory of dilute polymeric solutions (FENE dumbbells), the
pre-averaging Peterlin approximation used to derive a macroscopic constitutive equation …

We present detailed experimental results examining “negative wakes” behind spheres
settling along the centerline of a tube containing a viscoelastic aqueous polyacrylamide …

The phenomenon of the negative wake behind a sphere sedimenting through a viscoelastic
fluid is investigated. It is shown that there are two competing viscoelastic forces at work in …
