The Sweep Efficiency of Viscoelastic Polymer Solution

Abstract:

A finite volume method for the numerical solution of viscoelastic flows is presented in this paper. The flow of a differential upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) model fluid through an abrupt expansion has been chosen as a prototype example. The equations are solved using the finite volume method (FVM) in a staggered grid. Stable solutions are found for high Weissenberg number (We), further extending the range of simulations with the FVM. Numerical results show the viscoelasticity of polymer solutions is the main factor influencing sweep efficiency.
