A Stabilized Characteristic Finite Element Method for the Viscoelastic Oldroyd Fluid Motion Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. In this article, a characteristic scheme is considered for the viscoelastic Oldroyd fluid flows based on the lowest equal-order finite element pair. The diffusion term in these equations is discretized by using finite element method, the temporal differentiation and advection terms are treated by characteristic scheme and the integral term is handled by applying right rectangle rule. Unconditionally stability and optimal error estimates for the velocity and pressure are derived. Finally, some numerical results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed method.

Stabilized Finite Element Methods of Gls Type for Maxwell-b and Oldroyd-b Viscoelastic Fluids
We evaluate the stabilized three-field stress-velocity-pressure Galerkin/LeastSquares finite element formulation for viscoelastic fluids, using a benchmark problem of Oldroyd-B flow past a cylinder at various Weissenberg numbers. To address the issue of weak consistency exhibited by low-order velocity interpolations in the context of stabilized formulations, we also employ velocity gradient rec...
متن کاملA three-field formulation for incompressible viscoelastic fluids
This paper presents a new stabilized finite element method for incompressible viscoelastic fluids. A three-field formulation is developed wherein Oldroyd-B model is coupled with the mass and momentum conservation equations for an incompressible viscous fluid. The variational multiscale (VMS) framework is employed to develop a stabilized formulation for the coupled momentum, continuity and stres...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of shear dependent viscoelastic flows with a combined finite element-finite volume method
A hybrid combined finite element–finite volume method has been developed for the numerical simulation of shear-dependent viscoelastic flow problems governed by a generalized Oldroyd-B model with a non-constant viscosity function. The method is applied to the 4:1 planar contraction benchmark problem, to investigate the influence of the viscosity effects on the flow and results are compared with ...
متن کاملNumerical approximation of viscoelastic Oldroyd-B flows in curved pipes
The aim of this paper is to study a finite element numerical approximation of steady flows of an incompressible viscoelastic Oldroyd-B fluid in curved pipes of arbitrary cross-section and curvature ratio. Using rectangular toroidal coordinates, existence and uniqueness of approximated solutions are proved as well as a priori error estimates, under a natural restriction on the pipe curvature ratio.
متن کاملFlow of an Oldroyd-fluid in a contracting channel with a moving boundary
The industrial process of coating flat surfaces with polymeric substances is numerically simulated by solving the full equations of motion for a flow through a contraction with a moving boundary. The four-constant Oldroyd constitutive equation is used to represent the viscoelastic fluid. Some adjustments to existing finite-difference methods are made in such a way as to avoid singular iterative...
