Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are
encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of …

Viscoelastic instabilities are of fundamental importance to understanding the physics of
complex fluids and of practical importance to materials processing and fluid characterization …

The Oldroyd-B fluid has become the starting point for almost all complex flow calculations
and analysis involving the behavior of dilute polymer solutions. The reasons for this are …

Different types of regular and irregular self-organized structures observed in deformation of
colloid and polymer substances (“complex fluids”) are discussed and classified. This review …

The flow physics of inertio-elastic turbulent Taylor–Couette flow for a radius ratio of
considered. In fact, these vortices develop herringbone streaks near the inner wall that have …

The conditions for the onset of dissipation thermal instability with temperature-dependent
viscosity in the plane Couette flow of a Newtonian fluid are analyzed. The studied system …

A high-order transition route from inertial to elasticity-dominated turbulence (EDT) in Taylor–
Couette flows of polymeric solutions has been discovered via direct numerical simulations …

Recently, we explored the effects of weak fluid elasticity (El≪ 1) on the stability of co-and
counter-rotating Taylor–Couette (TC) flows [Dutcher and Muller, J. Rheol. 55 (6), 1271–1295 …

A weakly nonlinear stability analysis is carried out to study thermal instability induced by
viscous dissipation in Poiseuille flows for binary fluid mixtures with a positive separation …

The linear stability analysis of pressure-driven flow undergoing viscous heating through a
channel is considered. The walls of the channel are maintained at different constant …
