9 #+TITLE: *PTT-Linear viscoelastic constitutive model README file for version 3.2*
11 #+DATE: 05 October 2010
15 * This is a simulation case for a viscoelastic fluid described by the linear form of
16 the Phan-Thien-Tanner 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.
