Spectral element methods for predicting the die-swell of Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids
This thesis is concerned with the development of numerical methods for free surface problems. In particular, the die-swell problem is analyzed for Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids. For several materials comparisons with experiments are presented. The viscoelastic models explored are the Upper Conve...
