We consider the planar flow of Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluids around a re-entrant corner of angle ฯ/ฮฑ where ฮฑ โ [1/2, 1). The model is considered in the absence of a solvent viscosity and the flow situation assumes complete flow around the corner with the absence of a lip votex. The local asymptotic
We consider the Upper Convected Maxwell (UCM) limit of the Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) equations for steady planar flow around re-entrant corners. The PTT equations give the UCM equations in the limit of vanishing model parameter ร, this dimensionless parameter being associated with the quadratic stress
