Jacob Page has been awarded an EPSRC grant entitled "Exact Coherent Structures in Viscoelastic Turbulence" in collaboration with Professor Richard Kerswell, University of Cambridge. Viscoelasticity, which is the presence of both elasticity and viscosity, is increasingly realised to be an important feature of many common liquids in today's world (e.g. blood, shampoo, paints etc). The proposal seeks to explore some fundamental issues in viscoelastic flows which will help frame our understanding of how elastic and inertial effects interact.
