2 Outline Introduction Governing equations Numerical method / grid dependency issues Newtonian results UCM simulations: “High” ER followed by “Low” ER Conclusions AERC 2007 4th Annual European Rheology Conference April 12-14, Napoli - Italy

3 Introduction Prevailing view….vortex suppressed by elasticity and totally eliminated at “high” Deborah AERC 2007 4th Annual European Rheology Conference April 12-14, Napoli - Italy Not the whole story (AERC 2006 Poole et al, JNNFM 2007 to appear) UCM/Oldroyd-B (β = 1/9) simulations, 1:3 expansion ratio, creeping flow Maximum obtainable De ≈ 1 Effect of elasticity is to reduce but not eliminate recirculation Enhanced pressure drop observed Why investigate expansion flows of viscoelastic liquids?

4 Governing equations 1) Mass 2) Momentum (creeping flow) 3) Constitutive equationUpper Convected Maxwell model (UCM) AERC 2007 4th Annual European Rheology Conference April 12-14, Napoli - Italy Essentially phenomenological model “Simplest” viscoelastic differential model Capable of capturing qualitative features of many highly-elastic flows

5 Numerical method 1) Finite-volume method (Oliveira et al (1998), Oliveira & Pinho (1999)) 2) Structured, collocated and non-orthogonal meshes 3) Discretization (formally second order) Diffusive terms: central differences (CDS) Convective terms: CUBISTA (Alves et al (2003)) 4) Special formulations for cell-face velocities and stresses AERC 2007 4th Annual European Rheology Conference April 12-14, Napoli - Italy
