A viscoelastic flow model of Maxwell-type with a symmetric-hyperbolic formulation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Maxwell models for viscoelastic flows are famous for their potential to unify elastic motions of solids with viscous motions of liquids in the continuum mechanics perspective. But the usual Maxwell models allow one to define well motions mostly for one-dimensional flows only. To define unequivocal multi-dimensional viscoelastic flows (as solutions to well-posed initial-value problems) we advocated in [ESAIM:M2AN 55 (2021), p. 807-831] an upper-convected Maxwell model for compressible flows with a symmetric-hyperbolic formulation. Here, that model is derived again, with new details.
