Description:
Author(s): Piyush Garg, Indresh Chaudhary, Mohammad Khalid, V. Shankar, and Ganesh Subramanian Newtonian pipe flow is known to be linearly stable at all Reynolds numbers. We report, for the first time, a linear instability of pressure-driven pipe flow of a viscoelastic fluid, obeying the Oldroyd-B constitutive equation commonly used to model dilute polymer solutions. The instability is shown ... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 024502] Published Wed Jul 11, 2018
