Spatiotemporal Signatures of Elastoinertial Turbulence
The addition of small amounts of polymers to a Newtonian solvent makes the fluid viscoelastic, and can lead to significant drag reduction in high-speed flows. The interaction of viscoelasticity and inertia in a dilute polymer solution results in the emergence of unique inertioelastic instabilities....
