The Asymptotic Behaviour of Oldroyd-B Fluids is Almost Newtonian

Matthias Hieber, Thieu Huy Nguyen, César J. Niche +1

Consider a viscoelastic fluid of Oldroyd-B type. It is shown that its stress tensor $\ddot{I}„$ and its Newtonian deformation tensor $D(u)$ decay at the same rate, while the elastic part…
