We present in this paper a fully three dimensional (3D) convergent numerical study of planar
viscoelastic contraction flows. A 3D finite volume method (FVM) with the primary variable …

A finite volume technique has been introduced in an attempt to simulate the planar 4: 1
contraction flow of the Oldroyd B fluid on a non-uniform staggered grid system, which …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study natural convective heat transfer and
viscoelastic fluid flow in a differentially heated square cavity under the effect of thermal …

In this paper, we present numerical solutions of the Oldroyd-B fluid flowing through a 4: 1
planar contraction, for Weissenberg numbers (Wi) up to 20. The incompressible viscoelastic …

A new staggered-grid, finite-volume method for the numerical simulation of isothermal
viscoelastic liquids is presented. The main features of this method are the use of a primitive …

A finite-volume (FV) procedure is applied to the prediction of two-dimensional (2-D) laminar
flow through a 4: 1 planar contraction of upper convected Maxwell (UCM) and simplified …

A purely hyperbolic model for unsteady, two-dimensional viscoelastic flow is developed. The
model uses a pressure-density relationship in the continuity equation to obtain a dynamic …

Finite difference calculation of the planar 4: 1 contraction flow of the Leonov-like fluid (ie, the
1-mole Giesekus model with mobility parameter α= 1 2) has been performed on a non …
