Abstract

This study compares and contrasts computational predictions against experimental data for some viscoelastic contraction flows. Nigen and Walters (2002) [1], provides the comparative data-set, the specific flow of interest is an 8:1 abrupt circular contraction, and the constitutive model is that of s...
