We find that waves develop in a time-decaying mixing layer of viscoelastic fluid, leading the mean-flow to yo-yo. This is in sharp contrast with Newtonian fluids, where laminar mixing layers evolve monotonically. We combine direct numerical…

Most biological fluids are viscoelastic, meaning that they have elastic properties in addition to the dissipative properties found in Newtonian fluids. Computational models can help us understand viscoelastic flow, but are often limited in…
