Numerical Solvability of a Cosserat Model for the Swirling Motion of a Third-grade Fluid in a Constant Radius Straight Circular Tube

In this work we consider a thermodynamically compatible three-dimensional third-grade fluid model. With the aim of modelling swirling flow motions, we consider a velocity field approximation provided by the Cosserat theory, where we introduce specific scalar functions associated with the swirling mo...
