Stress singularities and the formation of birefringent strands in stagnation flows of dilute polymer solutions
Paul Becherer, Wim van Saarloos, Alexander N. Morozov
We consider stagnation point flow away from a wall for creeping flow of dilute polymer solutions. For a simplified flow geometry, we explicitly show that a narrow region of strong…

Scaling of singular structures in extensional flow of dilute polymer solutions
Paul Becherer, Alexander N. Morozov, Wim van Saarloos
Recently singular solutions have been discovered in purely elongational flows of visco-elastic fluids. We surmise that these solutions are the mathematical structures underlying th…
