Flapping instability of elastic disks in Stokes flows
Yijiang Yu, Hugo Perrin, Michael D. Graham +1
Fluid-structure interactions at low Reynolds number can lead to a much richer phenomenology than previously expected. Here, we study the dynamics of a freely suspended, thin elasti…

Structures of elastoinertial turbulence in pipe flow
Manish Kumar, Michael D. Graham
Elastoinertial turbulence (EIT) is a self-sustaining chaotic state resulting from the interplay between inertia and elasticity in the flow of dilute polymeric solutions, and its em…

Identifying efficient routes to laminarization: an optimization approach
Jake Buzhardt, Michael D. Graham
The nonlinear and chaotic nature of turbulent flows poses a major challenge for designing effective control strategies to maintain or induce low-drag laminar states. Traditional li…
