Abstract
A new technique for the numerical simulation of 3D time-dependent flow of v iscoelastic fluid is presented. The technique is based on a Lagrangian kine matic description of the fluid flow and represents a further development of the 2D Lagrangian integral method (LIM). The convergence of the method is demonstrated on the problem of a sphere moving in a cylinder filled with an upper convected Maxwell fluid. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights r eserved.
