Elastohydrodynamic instability of a spinning elastic disk
Sifan Yin, Paul R. Kaneelil, L. Mahadevan
A soft thin elastic disk spinning in a viscous fluid experiences centrifugal tension generated by rotation together with viscous shear generated by the surrounding flow. While the…

Coalescence of viscoelastic sessile drops: the small and large contact angle limits
Paul R. Kaneelil, Kazuki Tojo, Palas Kumar Farsoiya +2
The coalescence and breakup of drops are classic examples of flows that feature singularities. The behavior of viscoelastic fluids near these singularities is particularly intrigui…
