The Recursive Theory of Slow Viscoelastic Flow Applied to Three Basic Problems of Hydrodynamics

Abstract

The flow-field and stresses, correct to the third order, are calculated for three basic problems of viscoelastic flow: the Poiseuille problem; helical flow in an annulus, and torsional flow between discs. The slow flow equations are set out in general tensor notation, then specialized to cylindrical polar coordinates and to spherical polar coordinatea. © 1964, The Society of Rheology.
