A nonlinear elastic instability in channel flows at low Reynolds numbers
L. Pan, A. Morozov, C. Wagner +1
It is presently believed that flows of viscoelastic polymer solutions in geometries such as a straight pipe or channel are linearly stable. Here we present experimental evidence th…

Fluid Elasticity Can Enable Propulsion at Low Reynolds Number
Nathan C. Keim, Mike Garcia, Paulo E. Arratia
Conventionally, a microscopic particle that performs a reciprocal stroke cannot move through its environment. This is because at small scales, the response of simple Newtonian flui…
