The purpose of the present study is to proceed to three-dimensional numerical simulations
of viscoelastic Dean flows of a modified Phan-Thien–Tanner fluid (S.-C. Xue, N. Phan-Thien …

The influence of viscous heating on the stability of Taylor–Couette flow is investigated
theoretically. Based on a linear stability analysis it is shown that viscous heating leads to …

Previous experimental measurements and linear stability analyses of curvilinear shearing
flows of viscoelastic fluids have shown that the combination of streamwise curvature and …

A new method is presented for accounting for microstructural features of flowing complex
fluids at the level of mesoscopic, or coarse-grained, models by ensuring compatibility with …

The present paper numerically investigates viscoelastic fluid flow in the develo** flow
