X Abstract

A major problem in the analysis of complex flows of viscoelastic fluids lies in the development of a suitable constitutive equation relating stresses to the kinematics of deformation. In this paper an equation is developed from successive approximations to a very general theory of viscoelasticity. This equation, which predicts both a non-Newtonian viscosity coefficient and normal stress effects in simple laminar shearing flows, appears to reflect a reasonable compromise between simplicity and useful applicability to real materials.The use of this equation is illustrated by means of a study of rapid flows about submerged objects. The results of this study are compared with the usual boundary-layer theory for Newtonian fluids, and the implications of this comparison are discussed in some detail.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
