Numerical simulations of inertial viscoelastic flow with change of type

We examine plane inertial flows of viscoelastic fluids with an instantaneous elastic response. In such flows, the vorticity equation can change type when the velocity of the fluid exceeds the speed of shear waves. We use a finite element algorithm which has been developed for calculating highly viscoelastic flows.
