Chaotic flow and efficient mixing in a micro-channel with a polymer solution
Teodor Burghelea, Enrico Segre, Israel Bar-Joseph +2
Microscopic flows are almost universally linear, laminar and stationary because Reynolds number, , is usually very small. That impedes mixing in micro-fluidic devices, which so…

Elastic turbulence in curvilinear flows of polymer solutions
Alexander Groisman, Victor Steinberg
Following our first report (A. Groisman and V. Steinberg, $\sl Nature$ , 53 (2000)) we present an extended account of experimental observations of elasticity induced turbu…
