Colloidal hydrodynamic interactions in viscoelastic fluids
Dae Yeon Kim, Sachit G. Nagella, Saksham Malik +4
The motion of suspended colloidal particles generates fluid disturbances in the surrounding medium that create interparticle interactions. While such colloidal hydrodynamic interac…
A Swimming Rheometer: Self-propulsion of a freely-suspended swimmer enabled by viscoelastic normal stresses
Laurel A. Kroo, Jeremy P. Binagia, Noah Eckman +2
Self-propulsion at low Reynolds number is notoriously restricted, a concept that is commonly known as the "scallop theorem". Here we present a truly self-propelled swimmer (force-…
Perspectives on viscoelastic flow instabilities and elastic turbulence
Sujit S. Datta, Arezoo M. Ardekani, Paulo E. Arratia +20
Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of viscoelas…
Immersed-finite-element method for deformable particle suspensions in viscous and viscoelastic media
Amir Saadat, Chris J. Guido, Gianluca Iaccarino +1
Deformable elastic bodies in viscous and viscoelastic media constitute a large portion of synthetic and biological complex fluids. We present a parallelized 3D-simulation methodolo…
The Einstein viscosity with fluid elasticity
Jonas Einarsson, Mengfei Yang, Eric S. G. Shaqfeh
We give the first correction to the suspension viscosity due to fluid elasticity for a dilute suspension of spheres in a viscoelastic medium. Our perturbation theory is valid to $O…
Polymer Maximum Drag Reduction: A Unique Transitional State
Yves Dubief, Christopher M. White, Eric S. G. Shaqfeh +1
The upper bound of polymer drag reduction is identified as a unique transitional state between laminar and turbulent flow corresponding to the onset of the nonlinear breakdown of f…
