Abstract:In this work, a block-coupled algorithm is presented, which can compute laminar, incompressible, non-isothermal, viscoelastic flow problems based on the log-conformation tensor approach. The inter-equation coupling of the incompressible Cauchy linear momentum and mass conservation equations is obtained in a procedure based on the Rhie–Chow interpolation. The divergence of the log-conformation tensor term in the linear momentum equations is implicitly discretized in this work. In addition, the velocity field is… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
