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.

Nonlinear fluid dynamics description of non-Newtonian fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized hydrodynamic description of viscoelasticity is presented, which replaces the (often neglected) strain diffusion by a relaxation of the strain as a minimal ingredient, and can be used to get a nonlinear dynamic equation for the stress tensor.
Investigation of the abrupt contraction flow of fiber suspensions in polymeric fluids
TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulations of the flow of rigid fibres through a 4:1 planar contraction are presented, and the predicted flow pattern and fiber orientation are used to examine the nature of the suspending matrix which may consist of either a Newtonian fluid or a polymer melt.

Alternative derivation of differential constitutive equations of the Oldroyd-B type
TL;DR: In this article, the theme of differential constitutive models and an alternative way of deriving a modified version of the FENE model is discussed. But this model is not a generalisation of the classical Oldroyd-B model.
Relaxation behavior and the application of integral constitutive equations to wheat dough
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of water, flour, and added gluten on the dynamic properties of commercial cracker doughs was investigated using a dynamic rheometer and the integral constitutive Wagner equation was applied to the transient data.

A new viscoelastic benchmark flow: Stationary bifurcation in a cross-slot
Filipe Cruz,Robert J. Poole,Alexandre M. Afonso,Fernando T. Pinho,Paulo J. Oliveira,Manuel A. Alves +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the cross-slot geometry was proposed as a candidate for a numerical benchmark flow problem for viscoelastic fluids, obtained via Richardson extrapolation to the limit of infinite refinement using results for three different mesh resolutions, for the upperconvected Maxwell, Oldroyd-B and the linear form of the simplified Phan-Thien-Tanner constitutive models.

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.
