Polymers in turbulence: stretching statistics and the role of extreme strain-rate fluctuations
Jason R. Picardo, Emmanuel L. C. VI M. Plan, Dario Vincenzi
Polymers in a turbulent flow are stretched out by the fluctuating velocity gradient; the stationary probability distribution function (p.d.f.) of extensions has a power-law tai…
Self-sustained oscillations of active viscoelastic matter
Emmanuel L. C. VI M. Plan, Huong Le Thi, Julia M. Yeomans +1
Models of active nematics in biological systems normally require complexity arising from the hydrodynamics involved at the microscopic level as well as the viscoelastic nature of t…
Active matter in a viscoelastic environment
Emmanuel Lance Christopher VI M. Plan, Julia Yeomans, Amin Doostmohammadi
Active matter systems such as eukaryotic cells and bacteria continuously transform chemical energy to motion. Hence living systems exert active stresses on the complex environments…
Emergence of chaos in a viscous solution of rods
Emmanuel L. C. VI M. Plan, Stefano Musacchio, Dario Vincenzi
It is shown that the addition of small amounts of microscopic rods in a viscous fluid at low Reynolds number causes a significant increase of the flow resistance. Numerical simulat…
Lyapunov dimension of elastic turbulence
Emmanuel Lance Christopher VI Medillo Plan, Anupam Gupta, Dario Vincenzi +1
Low-Reynolds-number polymer solutions exhibit a chaotic behaviour known as 'elastic turbulence' when the Weissenberg number exceeds a critical value. The two-dimensional Oldroyd-B…
Bead-rod-spring models in random flows
Emmanuel Lance Christopher VI Medillo Plan, Aamir Ali, Dario Vincenzi
Bead-rod-spring models are the foundation of the kinetic theory of polymer solutions. We derive the diffusion equation for the probability density function of the configuration of…
