Abstract
Description
This paper developed a new algorithm, which combines the spectral element method with elastic viscous splitting stress method, for viscoelastic fluid in a planar contraction channel. This is an important topic at the cutting edge of research in computational rheology. The technique has been used in some other important rheological flow problems of academic and industrial interest. It provides a bench-mark solution for these viscoelastic flow problems and is currently used in industrial applications including plastic molding and cable coating.
