Numerical Simulation and Linearized Theory of Vortex Waves in a Viscoelastic, Polymeric Fluid
In a high viscosity, polymeric fluid initially at rest, the release of elastic energy produces vorticity in the form of coherent motions (vortex rings). Such behavior may enhance mixing in the low Reynolds number flows encountered in microfluidic applications. In this work, we develop a theory for s...
