The center-mode instability of viscoelastic plane Poiseuille flow
Mohammad Khalid, Indresh Chaudhary, Piyush Garg +2
A modal stability analysis shows that plane Poiseuille flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid becomes unstable to a `center mode' with phase speed close to the maximum base-flow velocity, $U_{…

Linear instability of viscoelastic pipe flow
Indresh Chaudhary, Piyush Garg, Ganesh Subramanian +1
A modal stability analysis shows that pressure-driven pipe flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid is linearly unstable to axisymmetric perturbations, in stark contrast to its Newtonian counter…
