Universal mean velocity profile in polymeric flows at maximum drag reduction
Francesco Serafini, Francesco Battista, Paolo Gualtieri +1
Provided a sufficient concentration of long-chain polymers in a Newtonian solvent, turbulent wall-bounded flows exhibit a universal state known as Maximum Drag Reduction (MDR). Thr…

Bubbles enable volumetric negative compressibility in metastable elastocapillary systems
Davide Caprini, Francesco Battista, Pawel Zajdel +11
Although coveted in applications, few materials expand when subject to compression or contract under decompression, i.e., exhibit the negative compressibility phenomenon. A key ste…
