Numerical simulation of viscoelastic contraction flows

In this work we present numerical results obtained with a finite volume method for the creeping flow of viscoelastic fluids in both axisymmetric and planar 4: 1 contractions. Two theological equations are considered, namely the constant-viscosity Oldroyd-B and the shear-thinning Phan-Thien/Tanner (P...
