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.

Generalized hydrodynamical equations obeying the entropy principle
TL;DR: In this paper, three generalizations of classical hydrodynamic theories that are compatible with equilibrium thermodynamics and that are suitable for an appropriate macroscopic dynamical theory of polymeric liquids are considered.

Applications in Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics
M. B. Bush
- 01 Jan 1989
TL;DR: In many cases the assumption of Newtonian behaviour is not valid and the rather more complex non-Newtonian response must be modelled, such as in the chemical processing industry and plastics processing industry as mentioned in this paper.

Viscoelastic Flow Due to a Rotating Disc Enclosed in a Cylindrical Casing
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of viscoelastic flows due to a rotating disc has been characterized based on an experimental study using a flow visualization technique and numerical simulation using several models for constitutive equations.

Reduced-stress method for efficient computation of time-dependent viscoelastic flow with stress equations of FENE-P type
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a way of reformulating the constitutive equation for the FENE-P model, or models described by similar equations expressed in terms of the stress tensor, which enables iterative methods for simulating time-dependent viscoelastic flows to become much more efficient.
Non-linear dynamics of a viscoelastic film subjected to a spatially periodic electric field
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the non-linear dynamics of the electrohydrodynamic instability of a viscoelastic polymeric film under a patterned mask and find that the effect of elasticity is destabilizing, in agreement with earlier studies based on linear stability analysis for homogeneous electric fields.

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.
