A Reynolds stress model for turbulent flows of viscoelastic fluids

A second-order closure is developed for predicting turbulent flows of viscoelastic fluidsdescribed by a modified generalised Newtonian fluid model incorporating a nonlinearviscosity that depends on a strain-hardening Trouton ratio as a means to handle someof the effects of viscoelasticity upon turbu...
