Polymer solutions are frequently used in enhanced oil recovery and groundwater
remediation to improve the recovery of trapped nonaqueous fluids. However, applications …

Thanks to direct observation and manipulation of DNA in micro/nanofluidic devices, we are
now able to elucidate the relationship between the polymer microstructure and its …

Polymer solutions are often injected in porous media for applications such as oil recovery
and groundwater remediation. As the fluid navigates the tortuous pore space, elastic …

Molecular conformations of individual polymers during flow through porous media are
directly observed by single-DNA imaging in microfluidics. As the Weissenberg number …

The flow of polymer solutions is examined in a flow geometry where a jet is used to inject the
viscoelastic solution into a cylindrical tube. We show that this geometry allows for the …

Droplet pinch off, which occurs when a drop of liquid detaches from a capillary, can be
strongly modified in the presence of polymers, giving rise to long and slender filaments that …

We study the necking and pinch-off dynamics of liquid droplets that contain a semidilute
polymer solution of polyacrylamide close to overlap concentration by combining …

We here use direct numerical simulations to describe the flow of a viscoelastic fluid,
modeled using the so-called Oldroyd B model, around a cylinder in two dimensions. A wide …

Complex fluids always possess obvious non-Newtonian properties that facilitate the
occurrence and development of vortex instability in porous media, which is of critical …

We investigate theoretically, on the basis of the steady Stokes equations for a viscous
incompressible fluid, the flow induced by a stokeslet located on the centre axis of two …
