Analytical solutions for fully developed laminar flow of some viscoelastic liquids with a newtonian solvent contribution

We present analytical solutions for fully developed pipe and channel flows of two viscoelastic fluids possessing a Newtonian solvent, where the polymer contribution is either described by the Phan-Thien–Tanner (PTT) or FENE-P models. We derive in detail the pipe flow solution for the PTT fluid, and...
