Elasto-visco-plastic flows in benchmark geometries: I. 4 to 1 Planar Contraction

Milad Mousavi, Yannis Dimakopoulos, John Tsamopoulos

We present predictions for the flow of elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluids in the 4 to 1 planar contraction geometry. The Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley fluid model is solved via the finite…
