Toward a structural understanding of turbulent drag reduction: nonlinear coherent states in viscoelastic shear flows
Philip A. Stone, Fabian Waleffe, Michael D. Graham
Nontrivial steady flows have recently been found that capture the main structures of the turbulent buffer layer. We study the effects of polymer addition on these "exact coherent s…

Slip, concentration fluctuations and flow instability in sheared polymer solutions
William B. Black, Michael D. Graham
Recent experiments suggest that shear-enhanced growth of concentration fluctuations in polymer solutions is strongly influenced by solid boundaries. We analyze the dynamics of a mo…
