Purely-elastic flow instabilities in a 3D six arms cross-slot geometry

A numerical study of the creeping flow of an UCM fluid is carried out in a three-dimensional cross-slot geometry with inlets and outlets in all three orthogonal directions. Using two different inlet flow rate configurations, I-o = 4:2 and 2:4, representing uniaxial extension and biaxial extension, r...
