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…
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…
