Complex fluids exist in nature and are continually engineered for specific applications
involving the addition of macromolecules to a solvent, among other means. This imparts …

Polymer solutions are frequently used in enhanced oil recovery and groundwater
remediation to improve the recovery of trapped nonaqueous fluids. However, applications …

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 …

Viscoelastic polymer flooding has been extensively used in oilfield development as an
enhanced oil recovery method. Understanding the microflow mechanism is necessary to …

Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids, Second Edition continues to
provide thorough coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

We present a second-order finite-difference scheme for viscoelastic flows based on a recent
reformulation of the constitutive laws as equations for the matrix logarithm of the …

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 …

An immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) for fluid-structure interaction
(FSI) problems involving viscoelastic fluids and complex geometries is presented in this …

Fluid–fluid interfaces, laden with polymers, particles or other surface-active moieties, often
show a rheologically complex response to deformations, in particular when strong lateral …

We perform 3D numerical simulations, heuristic modeling and microfluidic experiments to
demonstrate, for the first time, the presence of a bistability scenario for transversal migration …
