Abstract

âº Two-equation turbulence model for FENE-P fluids for up to intermediate drag reduction. âº Modeled transport equation of rate of dissipation includes viscoelastic destruction. âº Closure for the nonlinear term in conformation equation based on exact equation. âº Improved closures for viscoelastic stress work. âº New contribution to viscoelastic turbulent diffusion.
