Abstract

Two dimensional channel flow simulations of FENE-P fluid in the elasto-inertial turbulence regime reveal distinct regimes ranging from chaos to a steady travelling wave which takes the form of an arrowhead structure. This coherent structure provides new insights in the polymer/flow interactions driving EIT, which are observed in a set of controlled numerical experiments and the study of transfer between elastic and turbulent kinetic energy.
