Abstract

In this paper, non-isothermal flow of a polymeric liquid past a circular cylinder in an infinite domain is investigated numerically. A non-Newtonian fluid, known as a differential-type White-Metzner model, is used in the flow simulation. The computer code developed is based on the elastic-viscous split-stress finite element method incorporating the streamline-upwind Petrov-Galerkin scheme. Numerical solutions for several cases are obtained. Global flow characteristics, such as drag coefficient and heat transfer coefficient, are derived. The effects of fluid elasticity, inertia, and shear-thinning on drag and heat transfer are also investigated.
