Abstract

This paper is concerned with the application of finite element methods to obtain solutions for steady fully developed second-grade flows in a curved pipe of circular cross-section and arbitrary curvature ratio, under a given axial pressure gradient. The qualitative and quantitative behavior of the secondary flows is analyzed with respect to inertia and viscoelasticity.
