Electro-osmosis of viscoelastic fluids and prediction of electro-elastic flow instabilities in a cross slot using a finite-volume method

This work presents a finite volume method used to solve the relevant coupled equations for general electro-osmotic flows of viscoelastic fluids, using the upper-convected Maxwell and the simplified Phan-Thien-Tanner models. Three different implementations of the electro-osmosis physical models were...
