Turbulent duct flow with polymers
Armin Shahmardi, Sagar Zade, Mehdi N. Ardekani +4
We have performed direct numerical simulation of the turbulent flow of a polymer solution in a square duct, with the FENE-P model used to simulate the presence of polymers. First,…

Secondary flows of viscoelastic fluids in serpentine microchannels
Lucie Ducloue, Laura Casanellas, Simon J. Haward +5
Secondary flows are ubiquitous in channel flows, where small velocity components perpendicular to the main velocity appear due to the complexity of the channel geometry and/or that…

Bundling of elastic filaments induced by hydrodynamic interactions
Yi Man, William Page, Robert J. Poole +1
Peritrichous bacteria swim in viscous fluids by rotating multiple helical flagellar filaments. As the bacterium swims forward, all its flagella rotate in synchrony behind the cell…
