The dynamics of vortical perturbations in viscoelastic shear flows

Polymer additives have a striking impact on vortical motions in transitional and fully turbulent flows. Coherent structures which are familiar from Newtonian dynamics are altered in both strength and size while new, elasto-inertial phenomenology also emerges. In this work three canonical problems ar...
