We present a numerical study of a stabilization method for computing confined and free-surface flows of highly elastic viscoelastic fluids. In this approach, the constitutive equation based on the conformation tensor, which ...

In this paper we present a finite difference MAC-type approach for solving three-dimensional viscoelastic incompressible free surface flows governed by the eXtended Pom-Pom (XPP) model, considering a wide range of parameters. ...

This work presents a numerical application of a generic conformation tensor transformation for simulating highly elastic flows of non-Newtonian fluids typically observed in computational rheology. In the Kernel-conformation ...

We present a numerical scheme for a previously unexploited formulation of the equations for unsteady viscoelastic flow. The formulation aligns the polymer stress along particle paths/streamlines, utilising the characteristic ...

In this work the fully-developed steady channel flow of the homogeneous polymer solution studied in [4] is revisited and a completely new analytical solution is proposed which is devoid of the limitations of the previous ...

This study investigates the numerical simulation of three-dimensional time-dependent viscoelastic free surface flows using the Upper-Convected Maxwell (UCM) constitutive equation and an algebraic explicit model. This ...

In this paper we present a finite difference method for solving two-dimensional viscoelastic unsteady free surface flows governed by the single equation version of the eXtended Pom-Pom (XPP) model. The momentum equations ...

The capillary thinning dynamics can be considered one of the fingerprints of extensionally-dominated viscoelastic flows. Notably, the rheological behavior of complex fluids in extensional flow has been investigated in ...

One of the greatest challenges in performing numerical simulations of viscoelastic flow is how to choose the model parameters in order to be able to achieve quantitative agreement with experimental measurements in benchmark ...
