Stress behaviours of viscoelastic flow around square cylinder

In this study, it is aimed the numerically investigation of the flow of liner PTT (Phan-Thien-Tanner) fluid, which is a viscoelastic fluid model over limited square obstacle by finite volume method. The finite volume method has been used for simultaneous solution of continuity, momentum and fluid model equations with appropriate boundary conditions. The effects of the inertia in terms of Reynolds number, Re, (0 < Re < 20) and the of elasticity in terms of Weissenberg number, We, (1 < We < 15) of PTT flow on vertical and shear stress areas are examined in detail.
