Modeling of Nonisothermal Viscoelastic Slender Jet and Thin Sheet Flows.

Abstract

The research activities focused on three areas. The first area is the study of liquid crystal polymers in certain confined and free geometries. The second is a study of the interfacial instability for layered viscoelastic fluids governed by Johnson-Segalman constitutive equations. The third is the development of ENO schemes for a compressible Maxwell model which exhibits pure hyperbolicity at all flow configurations.
