Perturbation symmetries in shear-thinning viscoelastic pipe flows and the Petrov-Galerkin implementation

M Malik, Martin Skote, Roland Bouffanais

The perturbations of the laminar shear-thinning viscoelastic pipe flow under Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic model with Peterlin approximation (FENE-P) are shown to exhibit l…
