Drag Reduction by Polymer Additives in Decaying Turbulence
Chirag Kalelkar, Rama Govindarajan, Rahul Pandit
We present results from a systematic numerical study of decaying turbulence in a dilute polymer solution by using a shell-model version of the FENE-P equations. Our study leads to…

Stability of flow through a slowly diverging pipe
Kirti Chandra Sahu, Rama Govindarajan
Although the critical Reynolds number for linear instability of the laminar flow in a straight pipe is infinite, we show that it is finite for a divergent pipe, and approaches infi…
