Nonisothermal Flows of Viscoelastic Fluids: Thermodynamics, Analysis andNumerical Simulation (Niet-Isotherme Stroming van Visco-Elastische Vloeistoffen: Thermodynamica, Analyse en Numerieke Simulatie)

摘要

The primary of this thesis is the derivation of nonisothermal equations forisotropic viscoelastic materials with the help of the thermodynamics. Because the description of all phenomena would be too ambitious for one thesis, the area of investigation has to be restricted. The second objective is the development of a numerical code for the simulation of the obtained equations for the nonisothermal flow of viscoelastic fluids.
