Comparison of numerical simulations and birefringence measurements in viscoelastic flow between eccentric rotating cylinders [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Finite-element predictions of steady, two-dimensional viscoelasticflow based on the elastic-viscous split stress formulation of Rajagopalan et al. [Rajagopalan, D., R. C. Armstrong, and R. A. Brown, ``Finite Element Methods for Calculation of Steady, ViscoelasticFlow Using Constitutive Equations with a Newtonian Viscosity,'' J. Non-Newt. Fluid Mech. 36, 159–192 (1990)] are compared to birefringencemeasurements of stress for flow between eccentric rotating cylinders of a solution of polystyrene in tricresyl phosphate. Steady and small-amplitude oscillatory shearing measurements are used to characterize the shear flow rheology of the fluid, and a four-mode Giesekus model with a Newtonian solvent viscosity is fit to the rheological data. Comparison of the stress fields measured by flow-induced birefringence in the one-dimensional flow between concentric cylinders to the mechanically measured viscometric data show that the optical data compare reasonably well with the mechanical data. Comparison of optical measurements and finite-element predictions in the two-dimensional, eccentric cylinder flow, show good pointwise agreement throughout most regions of the flow.
