Hk. Rasmussen, Time-dependent finite-element method for the simulation of three-dimensional viscoelastic flow with integral models, J NON-NEWT, 84(2-3), 1999, pp. 217-232
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
