Shear-banding is ubiquitous in complex fluids. It is related to the organization of the flow into
macroscopic bands bearing different viscosities and local shear rates and stacked along the …

Hydrodynamic flows exhibit turbulent behaviour which is not well understood till date. When
a fluid is in a gravitational field, the flow becomes even more complex due to the gravity …

We report on the flow dynamics of a wormlike micellar system (CPCl/NaSal/brine)
undergoing a shear-banding transition using a combination of global rheology, 1D …

This work reports on an experimental study of elastic turbulence in a semi-dilute wormlike
micelle system made of a highly elastic betaine surfactant solution. The temporal evolution …

We report on the shear banding flow of semidilute and concentrated wormlike micelle
systems which have been probed in the recent past using rheology, velocimetry, and small …

When a polymer solution is sheared between concentric cylinders, with the inner rotating
and the outer fixed, the torque on the inner cylinder is modified compared to a Newtonian …

In order to deal with strong inhomogeneities of the polymer stress in shear banding of
wormlike micelles, rheological models usually include stress diffusion terms. These terms lift …

We report on the recent progress made on flows of living polymer fluids. Such fluids have
been model systems for rheological research for more than twenty years and they continue …

Elastic turbulence, which is sensitive to geometry and polymer rheology, has shown great
potential for improving the performance of mixing, heat transfer, and even oil recovery …

The flow instabilities of solutions of high molecular weight DNA in the entangled semi-dilute
concentration regime were investigated using optical coherence tomography velocimetry, a …
