Modeling and Simulation of Viscoelastic Flows
Many fluids of industrial importance, such as polymer melts and solutions,
are viscoelastic and behave in a complicated fashion. The speakers in this
minisymposium will discuss the mathematical theory of viscoelastic liquids,
constitutive models for them, and the physical consequences of the models. The
mathematical problems that arise involve non-linear differential,
integro-differential and integral equations. A wide range of analytical,
asymptotic and numerical techniques are used to obtain solutions and to study
the stability of classes of solutions.
