Numerical Simulation of Viscous and Viscoelastic Fluids Flow by Finite Volume Method

This paper deals with the numerical modeling of steady incompressible laminar flows of viscous and viscoelastic fluids. The governing system of the equations is based on the system of balance laws for mass and momentum for incompressible fluid. Two models for the stress tensor are tested. The models used in this study are generalized Newtonian model with power-law viscosity model and Oldroyd-B model with constant viscosity. The numerical results for these models are presented.
