β¦ Synopsis
The hydrodynamic theory for the flow of nonlinear viscoe!astic fluids is developed. Two new dimensionless groups must be introduced into the complete second-order COT- rection of viscoelastic flow. These groups are called the Weissenberg and viscoelastic ratio numbers.
It is argued that the Weissenberg number determines the onset of melt fracture.
Applications to industrially important problems are discussed.
