Abstract The impact of drops on a thin liquid film is a phenomenon encountered in industrial applications, but also of particular interest in nature. Examples include the growth of stalagmites in karstic caves, a case where the drop feeds the film with ions that will subsequently precipitate. The mixing upon impact, which is witnessed both in the film and in the ejections, remains poorly understood.
Abstract Two-dimensional channel flow simulations of FENE-P (finitely extensible nonlinear elastic-Peterlin) fluid in the elasto-inertial turbulence (EIT) regime reveal distinct regimes ranging from chaos to a steady traveling wave which takes the form of an arrowhead structure. This coherent structure provides insights into the polymer/flow interactions driving EIT.
