9 #+TITLE: *Oldroyd-B viscoelastic constitutive model README file for version 3.0*
11 #+DATE: 05 October 2010
15 * This is a simulation case for a viscoelastic fluid described by the Oldroyd-B
16 constitutive model (PTT-Linear).
17 The geometry was the 4:1 plane contraction. This is a well studied
18 geometry in viscoelastic fluid flow research.
20 More details about the model or parameters used can be found at:
22 *** L.M. Quinzani, R.C. Amstrong, R.A. Brown, Birefringence and laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV) studies of
23 viscoelastic flow through a planar contraction, J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 52 (1994) 1-36.
26 *** This is only an illustrative case for the Oldroyd-B constitutive model. Therefore,
27 there are not more details published until now for this model using this geometry
28 and viscoelasticFluidFoam solver.
