Application of the log-conformation tensor to three-dimensional time-dependent free surface flows

A finite-volume method is applied to the numerical simulation of creeping flows of viscoelastic fluids through a 4:1 square-square three dimensional abrupt contraction. The calculation of the polymer stress contribution is carried out with the log-conformation methodology [1]. The log-conformation s...
