mbnu FY2016 Annual Report 3.1.2

Figure: (Left) Weissenberg number (Wi) and (right) effective Weissenberg number (Wieff) as a function of critical Re for all viscoelastic fluids considered in the study. Closed symbols correspond to cases where elasticity is maintained constant while open symbols refer to the cases of constant Weissenberg number. An increase in the polymer concentration (β) causes the transition to be shifted to lower Re when compared to a Newtonian fluid.
