Lagrangian dynamics unveil polymer conformation in viscoelastic flows
Louison Thorens, Gabriel Juarez, Jeffrey S. Guasto +1
The complex flow behavior of viscoelastic fluids emerges from a feedback between fluid stress and the out-of-equilibrium conformational dynamics of their constituent polymer chains…

Lagrangian evaluation of polymeric stress in viscoelastic fluids
Mohammad Majidi, Rishu Gandhi, Louison Thorens +3
Polymeric stresses in viscoelastic flows arise from the deformation of polymer chains and are commonly computed using Eulerian constitutive models, in which the conformation tensor…
