Abstract:
      A WCCBS_SU method based on Oldroyd-B constitutive model is developed for solving the weakly compressible visco-elastic flow problems. The planar Poiseuille visco-elastic flow and the 4:1 contraction visco-elastic flow are simulated by WCCBS_SU method under weakly compressible condition. Comparisons between the numerical and analytic solutions for the Poiseuille flow show high accuracy and better stability of the method. In the simulation of the 4:1 contraction visco-elastic flow, the changes of the stream lines and stresses and growing of the lip vortex and salient corner vortex versus the Weissenberg numbers are discussed. All the numerical results show that WCCBS_SU method developed in this paper is valid for the weakly compressible visco-elastic flow problems.
