- The article constitutes a distinct paradigm of interdisciplinary research combining Small Angle Neutron Scattering, X-ray imaging and fluid-mechanics experiments to elucidate the flow behaviour of viscoelastic fluids in high-speed compressible flows. Research was conducted by an extensive research team of diverse backgrounds and encompassed experiments at two high-end facilities, namely the ISIS spallation source at the Rutherford laboratory (UK) and the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory (US). The investigation demonstrated the effectiveness of viscoelasticity-inducing agents diluted in diesel fuel in terms of cavitation suppression and allowed the industrial partner, Lubrizol Ltd., promote their commercial portfolio of relevant additives
