Purely elastic instabilities in three-dimensional cross-slot geometries

Creeping and low Reynolds number flows of an upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid are investigated numerically in a three-dimensional orthogonal cross-slot geometry. We analyze two different flow configurations corresponding to uniaxial extension and biaxial extension, and assess the effects of exten...
