Viscoelasticity-Induced Instability in Plane Couette Flow at Very Low Reynolds Number

Elasto-inertial turbulence (EIT), a new turbulent state found in polymer solutions with viscoelastic properties, is associated with drag-reduced turbulence. However, the relationship between EIT and drag-reduced turbulence is not currently well-understood, and it is important to elucidate the mechan...
