Flow of viscoelastic fluids between plates rotating about distinct axes

We discuss the flow of BKZ fluids in an orthogonal rheometer. Some analytical results are proved, and numerical solutions are obtained for the Currie model. These solutions show a boundary layer behavior at high Reynolds numbers and the possibility of discontinuous solutions or nonexistence at high Weissenberg numbers.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/47205/1/397_2005_Article_BF01774396.pd
