Simulation of flows of viscoelastic fluids at high Weissenberg number using a filter-based stabilization of the spectral element method

Michel Deville, Nicolas Fietier, Azadeh Jafari

The challenge for computational rheologists is to develop efficient and stable numerical schemes in order to obtain accurate numerical solutions for the governing equations at values of practical interest of the Weissenberg number. One of the associated pr ...

Lattice Boltzmann method for the simulation of viscoelastic fluid flows

Michel Deville, Nicolas Fietier, Orestis Pileas Malaspinas

The simulation of viscoelastic fluids is a challenging task from the theoretical and numerical points of view. This class of fluids has been extensively studied with the help of classical numerical methods. In this paper we propose a new approach based on ...

Spectral Elements Analysis for Viscoelastic Fluids at High Weissenberg Number Using Logarithmic conformation Tensor Model

Michel Deville, Nicolas Fietier, Azadeh Jafari

This study discusses the capability of the constitutive laws for the matrix logarithm of the conformation tensor (LCT model) within the framework of the spectral elements method. The high Weissenberg number problems (HWNP) usually produce a lack of converg ...
