## Abstract Developing and fully developed velocity profiles with respect to position for laminar flow of inelastic fluids in an annulus were measured using streak photography. The polymer solutions used in the investigation were found to exhibit power law behavior under the present experimental co
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
