TL;DR: In this paper, a constitutive equation is derived from a Lodge-Yamamoto type of network theory for polymeric fluids, where the network junctions are not assumed to move strictly as points of the continuum but allowed a certain "effective slip".

Abstract: A constitutive equation is derived from a Lodge—Yamamoto type of network theory for polymeric fluids. The network junctions are not assumed to move strictly as points of the continuum but allowed a certain “effective slip”. The rates of creation and destruction of junctions are assumed to depend on the instantaneous elastic energy of the network, or equivalently, the average extension of the network strand, in a simple manner. Agreement between model predictions and the I.U.P.A.C. data on L.D.P.E. is good.

Accounting for temperature-dependent properties in viscoelastic duct flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical and theoretical study is conducted to evaluate the effect of temperature-dependent properties on the hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of viscoelastic fluid flow, and an alternative method to account for variable properties, based on the definition of an equivalent temperature to be used with the constant property Nu and Cf expressions is also proposed and shown to be less sensitive to the influence of viscous dissipation.

Efficient simulation of nonlinear viscoelastic fluid flows
TL;DR: Saramito et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a new and efficient method for computing the flow of a non-Newtonian fluid based on two independent concepts: time-dependent simulation of viscoelastic flow and conservative finite element method.

Purely-elastic flow asymmetries in flow-focusing devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the flow of a viscoelastic fluid through a microfluidic flow-focusing device is investigated numerically with a finite-volume code using the upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) and Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) models.
A simple method for simulating general viscoelastic fluid flows with an alternate log-conformation formulation
TL;DR: Hulsen et al. as mentioned in this paper used the log-conformation formulation to solve the high Weissenberg number problem for viscoelastic flow problems, which can be used to solve all the governing equations (continuity, conservation of momentum and constitutive equation) in a strongly coupled way.

Anisotropic Fluid Theory: A Different Approach to the Dumbbell Theory of Dilute Polymer Solutions
R. J. Gordon,W. R. Schowalter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the continuum theory of anisotropic fluids, as developed by Ericksen and others, to formulate an expression for the time derivative of the end-to-end vector of a linear macromolecule when used in conjunction with the equation describing the distribution function for a dilute solution of dumbbell elements.

The Visco-elastic Properties of Network Structure II. Structural Viscosity
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of weak Gaussian networks is used to study the viscosity behavior of concentrated polymer solution. But the model is restricted to the case where the probability of breakage of a chain in the network is independent of elongation of the chain.
