For a given re-entrant corner geometry, we describe a two parameter family of solutions for the local asymptotic behaviour of the flow and stress fields of UCM fluids. The two parameters used are the coefficients of the upstream wall shear rate and pressure gradient. In describing this parametric so

This paper continues the description of a two parameter family of solutions for the local asymptotic behaviour of UCM fluids at re-entrant corners. Here, the natural stress basis is used to re-derive the equations in the core flow and boundary layers, with full description of the scalings and matchi

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
