Coexisting chaos and order in micro-textured elastic flows

Giulio Foggi Rota, Ricardo Arturo Lopez de la Cruz, Simon J. Haward +2

Viscoelastic fluid flows over micro-textured surfaces - densely covered by slender protrusions like cilia lining the body airways or villi covering the intestinal epithelium - unde…

Elastic wakes mediate collective viscoelastic fluid-structure interactions in side-by-side cantilever arrays

Arisa Yokokoji, Amy Q. Shen, Simon J. Haward

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in viscoelastic flows past deformable structures at low Reynolds numbers remains poorly understood, despite its relevance to biological systems su…

Effects of fluid rheology and geometric disorder on the enhanced resistance of viscoelastic flows through porous media

Simon J Haward, Amy Q Shen

Recent works reveal the importance of chaotic flow fluctuations as a mechanism for the enhanced resistance observed in viscoelastic porous media flows, and also show how chaotic fl…

Stagnation points at grain contacts generate an elastic flow instability in 3D porous media

Emily Y. Chen, Christopher A. Browne, Simon J. Haward +2

Many environmental, energy, and industrial processes involve the flow of polymer solutions in three-dimensional (3D) porous media where fluid is confined to navigate through comple…
