“…In the last several years, many numerical methods have been developed and adopted for the prediction of complex flow patterns of viscoelastic fluids, including the finite difference method , the boundary element method , the finite element method , finite volume method , pseudospectral method , and the lattice Boltzmann method . Dimakopoulos presented a completely implicit, parallel algorithm for the simulation of transient free‐surface flows of multimode viscoelastic fluids based on the mixed finite element method for the velocity and pressure fields, an elliptic grid generator for the deformation of the mesh, and the discontinuous Galerkin method for the viscoelastic stresses.…”
