Abstract
This work presents the development of an algebraic extra-stress model (AESM) for modelling viscoelastic flows governed by the constitutive Finite Extendable Non-linear Elastic - Chilcott and Rallison (FENE-CR) differential model. An algorithm for solving the governing equations for incompressible flows of FENE-CR fluids by the AESM model is given. Moreover, by considering fully developed flows, analytic expressions for the conformation tensor A and velocity arc derived. These analytic solutions arc employed to verify the convergence and accuracy of the numerical methodology for simulating flows modelled by this new AESM.
