The behavior of viscoelastic fluids in the inlet region of a channel formed by two parallel flat plates has been analyzed with a Rivlin-Ericksen approximation to describe the fluid properties. I t was found that viscoelasticity changed the entry length; both the magnitude and direction of this chang
