Spatio-temporal Signatures of Elasto-inertial Turbulence in Viscoelastic Planar Jets
Sami Yamani, Yashasvi Raj, Tamer A. Zaki +2
The interplay between viscoelasticity and inertia in dilute polymer solutions at high deformation rates can result in inertio-elastic instabilities. The nonlinear evolution of thes…
