Numerical approximation of corotational dumbbell models for dilute polymers
We construct a general family of Galerkin methods for the numerical approximation of weak solutions to a bead-spring model that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The model consists of the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes...
