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…

Numerical analysis of capillarity-driven thinning rheometry for polydisperse polymer solutions

Isaac Pincus, Vincenzo Calabrese, Simon J. Haward +1

Liquid bridges of polymer solutions that are self-thinning due to the action of capillarity undergo a transition from Newtonian-like linear thinning to exponential elastocapillary…

Polymer extension at stagnation points governs flow thickening of polymer solutions in ordered porous media

Emily Y. Chen, Simon J. Haward, Amy Q. Shen +1

Polymer solutions exhibit anomalous flow thickening -- marked by an abrupt increase in the macroscopic flow resistance -- above a threshold flow rate in a porous medium, but not in…

Flow-history-dependent orientational relaxation in dilute polydisperse colloidal rod suspensions

Yuto Yokoyama, Vincenzo Calabrese, Fabian Hillebrand +3

Orientation and relaxation dynamics of rod-like colloids under flow govern the optical and mechanical properties of many emerging soft materials. In polydisperse suspensions, parti…

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…
