Flow of viscoelastic fluids through banks of cylinders: an experimental and numerical investigation
In this research it is attempted to determine whether the pressure drop for a polymer melt flowing transversely through a square array of cylinders can be predicted using purely viscous models or whether a viscoelastic constitutive equation is required. To predict these pressure drops, finite elemen...
