Algorithm for the simulation of transient viscoelastic flows with free surfaces
Abstract
A numerical procedure for solving a class of transient viscoelastic flows with free surfaces was considered. It is based on a Galerkin/Finite Element technique on deforming elements combined with a predictor-corrector scheme. The method is applied to the analysis of jet breakup caused by capillary forces. Non-linear effects known to experimentalists are predicted and a detailed comparison with asymptotic results is carried out.
