Introduction
Viscoelastic Fluids
They are fluids that possess both viscous and “elastic” properties. Theyexhibit flow phenomena that cannot be explained by the Newtonian
Viscous law e.g. Weissenberg effect . Hence, they are also referred tonon-Newtonian fluids .
Examples of non-Newtonian fluids are Polymeric fluids used to makeplastic articles, dough used to make bread and pasta, biological fluidssuch as synovial fluids found in joints and blood.

Die Swell
Die swell is caused by relaxation of extended polymer coils as the stress in a
polymeric liquid reduces from high, flow producing stresses present within
the die to the low stresses associated with the extruded stream moving
through ambient air.

Dimensionless Groups
For Newtonian fluids, the Reynolds number (Re ) is the most importantdimensionless group while for viscoelastic fluids, the Deborah number(De ) is the most important dimensionless group.
The Deborah number is defined as
De = λ
t flow
where λ is the characteristic time of the material and t flow is the time
interval during which a typical fluid element experiences a significantsequence of kinematic event. When De ≥ De crit , elastic effects becomesrelevant, where De crit depends on the flow problem. Typically, De crit = 1.

Memory Fluids
For Generalized Newtonian Constitutive Equation,
τ (t ) = −η(γ̇ )γ̇ (t ).
Since γ̇ (t ) represents only the instantaneous deformation, there can beno effect of the history of the deformation on the stress in these models.
To construct a Constitutive equation with memory, we must includeterms that involve expressions such as γ̇ (t − t o ), the value of γ̇ at a time
t o seconds in the past.

2 Using the stress field, Σ∗
p ,i , the discretized momentum equation issolved without the contribution of the pressure gradient term toobtain the velocity components, v∗i - This represents the predictor
step for velocity.3 Using the predicted velocity v∗i , the pressure correction equation is
solved for p ∗, the predictor step for pressure.4 Correct the velocity field v∗i , by solving the velocity field v∗∗i using
the estimated pressure field p ∗.
5 Using the corrected velocities, v∗∗

6 Repeat steps 1-5 using v∗∗i , p ∗, and τ ∗∗
p ,i as improved estimates for
the solution at the new time step values vn+1i , p n+1, and τ

Test Geometry
A planar abrupt contraction with contraction ratio, H /h, of 3.97 : 1 (H = 0.0127, h = 0.0032) was chosen as test problem because of the availability of literature data for validation of developed code.

Conclusion
The governing equations are discretized using a Collocated finite volumemethod, which has been implemented in the OpenFOAM library:
The convection term of the governing equations is treated usinghigh resolution schemes (e.g. TVD schemes) which provides better
numerical stability and accuracy for hyperbolic PDEs.Further stability was achieved through stress-splitting techniquessuch as DEVSS method, which enhances the elliptic character of thegoverning equations.
The iterative solution strategy is based on the PISO
predictor-corrector algorithm and Rhie-Chow interpolation scheme,which has been modified for Viscoelastic flow calculations.
