The stabilizing effect of shear thinning on the onset of purely elastic instabilities in serpentine microflows

We determine both experimentally and numerically the onset of elastic flow instabilities in viscoelastic polymer solutions with different levels of shear thinning. Previous experiments realized in microfluidic serpentine channels using dilute polymeric solutions showed that the onset of elastic inst...
