P. Wapperom et Ma. Hulsen, A LOWER-BOUND FOR THE INVARIANTS OF THE CONFIGURATION TENSOR FOR SOMEWELL-KNOWN DIFFERENTIAL MODELS, Journal of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, 60(2-3), 1995, pp. 349-355
A method is given to determine lower bounds for the invariants of a co
nfiguration tensor in 3D flows. For some well-known differential model
s these lower bounds are given. Except for the Giesekus and the FENE-P
model, the lower bounds are the values in equilibrium.
