Extra dissipation and flow uniformization due to elastic instabilities of shear-thinning polymer solutions in model porous media
{{output}}
We study flows of hydrolized polyacrylamide solutions in two dimensional porous media made using microfluidics, for which elastic effects are dominant. We focus on semi-dilute solutions (0.1%-0.4%) which exhibit a strong shear thinning behavior. We systematica... ...
