Fluid Mech., vol. 1000, 2024, R3) use viscoelastic Taylor-Couette flow (TCF) to examine the origin of turbulent mixing in accretion disks. Through direct numerical simulations, the authors find that, unlike the Newtonian case with a similar configuration, turbulence is sustained even at the lowest Reynolds numbers examined and that turbulent mixing is provided through elastic and non-hydrodynamic contributions. By comparing the torque scaling laws obtained with those in magnetized TCF, the authors are able to further support the elastic-magnetic analogy. These findings open new avenues for understanding angular momentum transport and instability mechanisms in both laboratory and astrophysical contexts.}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, keywords = {Taylor–Couette flow}, keywords = {viscoelasticity}, keywords = {turbulent transition}, title = {Elastic turbulence in space}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2024.1214}, author = {Ostilla Monico, Rodolfo}, }
