We report evidence of irregular unsteady flow of two-dimensional polymer solutions in the absence of inertia in cross-slot geometry using numerical simulations of Oldroyd-B model. By exploring the transition to time-dependent flow versus…
Many manmade and naturally occurring materials form viscoelastic solids. The increasing use of biologically inspired elastomeric material and the extreme mechanical response these elastomers offer drive the need for a better, more intuitive…
We study theoretically the viscoelastic properties of sheared binary fluids that have strong dynamical asymmetry between the two components. The dynamical asymmetry arises due to asymmetry between the viscoelastic stresses, particularly the…
In many geophysical and astrophysical flows, suppression of fluctuations along one direction of the flow drives a quasi-2D upscale flux of kinetic energy, leading to the formation of strong vortex condensates at the largest scales. Recent…
Many natural and engineering systems involve the mixing of two fluid streams, in which the effects of density and viscosity gradients play important roles in determining flow stability. We perform linear stability calculations for a jet…
A wide range of natural and engineered fluid flows exhibit spatial or temporal viscosity variations, spanning scales from microbial locomotion to planetary mantle convection. These variations introduce qualitatively new physical mechanisms…
The basic stationary buoyant flow in a vertical annular porous passage induced by a boundary temperature difference is investigated. The vertical cylindrical boundaries are considered both isothermal and permeable to external fluid…
It has been shown in our previous publication (Blawzdziewicz,Cristini,Loewenberg,2003) that high-viscosity drops in two dimensional linear creeping flows with a nonzero vorticity component may have two stable stationary states. One state…
A noteworthy aspect in blood flow modeling is the definition of the mechanical interaction between the fluid flow and the biological structure that contains it, namely the vessel wall. It has been demonstrated that the addition of a viscous…
We study two closely related, nonlinear models of a viscoplastic solid. These models capture essential features of plasticity over a wide range of strain rates and applied stresses. They exhibit inelastic strain relaxation and steady flow…
In this note we analyze a model for a unidirectional unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible fluid with time dependent viscosity. A possible way to take into account such behaviour is to introduce a memory formalism, including thus the…
A simple model is proposed for the buckling and coiling instability of a viscous "fluid rope" falling on a plane. By regarding a fluid rope as a one-dimensional flow, this model accounts for only the axial and shared viscous forces. Our…
We model the flow of a bi-viscous non-Newtonian fluid in a porous medium by a square lattice where the links obey a piece-wise linear constitutive equation. We find numerically that the flow regime where the network transitions from all…
This study presents an extensive numerical investigation on the flow characteristics of wormlike micellar solutions past a single and vertically aligned two microcylinders placed in a microchannel in the creeping flow regime on the…
Microscale turbulent flow in porous media is conducive to the development of flow instabilities due to strong vortical and shearing flow occurring within the pore space. When the flow instabilities around individual solid obstacles interact…
The asymmetry model for the highly viscous flow postulates thermally activated jumps from a practically undistorted ground state to strongly distorted, but stable structures, with a pronounced Eshelby backstress from the distorted…
It is shown that the dynamics of a two-dimensional crystal with a finite concentration of dislocations, as well as vacancy and interstitial defects, is governed by the hydrodynamic equations of a viscoelastic medium. At the longest length…
This study investigates the impact of elasticity and plasticity on two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder at Reynolds number $Re = 100$. Ten direct numerical simulations were performed using the Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley model to…
Recent research indicates that low-inertia viscoelastic channel flow experiences supercritical non-normal mode elastic instability from laminar to sustained chaotic flow due to finite-size perturbations. The challenge of this study is to…
We consider a dynamical system given by an area-preserving map on a two-dimensional phase plane and consider a one-dimensional line of initial conditions within this plane. We record the number of iterates it takes a trajectory to escape…
