Subcritical finite-amplitude solutions in plane Couette flow of visco-elastic fluids
Alexander N. Morozov, Wim van Saarloos
Plane Couette flow of visco-elastic fluids is shown to exhibit a purely elastic subcritical instability in spite of being linearly stable. The mechanism of this instability is prop…
Modeling viscoelastic flow with discrete methods
Ellak Somfai, Alexander N. Morozov, Wim van Saarloos
The hydrodynamics of viscoelastic materials (for example polymer melts and solutions) presents interesting and complex phenomena, for example instabilities and turbulent flow at ve…
Weakly nonlinear subcritical instability of visco-elastic Poiseuille flow
Bernard Meulenbroek, Cornelis Storm, Alexander N. Morozov +1
It is well known that the Poiseuille flow of a visco-elastic polymer fluid between plates or through a tube is linearly stable in the zero Reynolds number limit, although the stabi…
Evidence for Slow Velocity Relaxation in Front Propagation in Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Julien Kockelkoren, Cornelis Storm, Wim van Saarloos
Recent theoretical work has shown that so-called pulled fronts propagating into an unstable state always converge very slowly to their asymptotic speed and shape. In the the light…
Sources, sinks and holes in a one-dimensional traveling wave convection experiment
Luc Pastur, Mark-Tiele Westra, Daniel Snouck +4
We study dynamical behavior of local structures, such as sources and holes, in traveling wave patterns in a very long (2 m) heated wire convection experiment. The {\em sources} und…
Vacancy diffusion in the Cu(001) surface II: Random walk theory
E. Somfai, R. van Gastel, S. B. van Albada +2
We develop a version of the vacancy mediated tracer diffusion model, which follows the properties of the physical system of In atoms diffusing within the top layer of Cu(001) terra…
