Abstract

In this computational study, the ability of an extensional White–Metzner construction with the FENE-CR model is considered to reflect experimental enhanced drag data of Jones et al. [1]. The numerical drag predictions for three different aspect ratios of sphere:tube radii {0.5, 0.4, 0.2} are obtaine...
