Elastic Turbulence: An Experimental View on Inertialess Random Flow

Victor Steinberg

Summary: Elastic turbulence (ET) is a chaotic flow phenomenon that occurs when a tiny amount of long polymer molecules is added to a viscous solvent laminar flow. ET is characterized by polymer stretching, which generates elastic stress and affects the flow. This review examines the statistical and spectral properties of the velocity field, pressure fluctuations, and friction factor scaling of ET in different flow geometries, based on experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical descriptions.

Experimental observation of the elastic range scaling in turbulent flow with polymer additives

Yi-Bao Zhang et al.

Summary: The addition of a minute amount of long-chain flexible polymer in turbulent flow can significantly alter flow properties, such as reducing drag and enhancing mixing. The interaction between polymer additives and eddies of different spatial scales changes turbulent energy transfer. The presence of a previously unidentified scaling range, known as the elastic range, affects the scaling of high-order velocity statistics and has important implications for various turbulence systems.

Role of elasto-inertial turbulence in viscoelastic drag-reducing turbulence

Wen-Hua Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the roles of inertial turbulence (IT) and elasto-inertial turbulence (EIT) in drag-reducing turbulent flows of viscoelastic fluid. The findings suggest that EIT coexists with IT in both spatial and temporal domains at moderate and high Reynolds numbers, and emerges close to the channel walls under low drag reduction conditions.
