Viscoelastic flows of Maxwell fluids with conservation laws

Viscoelastic flows of Maxwell fluids with conservation laws

We consider multi-dimensional extensions of Maxwell’s seminal rheological equation for 1D viscoelastic flows. We aim at a causal model for compressible flows, defined by semi-group solutions given initial conditions, and such that perturbations propagate at finite speed. We propose a symmetric hyperbolic system of conservation laws that contains the Upper-Convected …
