9 #+TITLE: *XPP_DE 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
16 Extended Pom-Pom Double Equation constitutive model (XPP_DE).
17 The geometry was the 4:1 plane contraction.
21 *** This is only an illustrative case for the PP constitutive model. Therefore,
22 there are not more details published until now for this model using this geometry
23 and viscoelasticFluidFoam solver.
25 *** The parameters for the constitutive model was obtained from:
