Using a newly developed three dimensional, time dependent finite volume code designed to compute non-Newtonian flows over a large range of Reynolds number (Re), we performed simulations of viscoelastic flow past a circular cylinder. Our goal was to elucidate elastic effects during transition to turbulence in a bluff body wake. Based on its ability to capture essential physical processes in turbulent drag reduction studies, the FENE-P rheological model was employed in the calculation, and the numerical method utilized was such that a large range of rheological parameters (polymer length L, dimensionless Weissenberg number (Wi), and polymer concentration (beta) in the FENE-P model) could be probed. Simulations were performed for Reynolds numbers ranging from Re = 100 to Re = 3900. Within this range, the Newtonian cylinder wake first undergoes a series of secondary instabilities, transitioning the wake structure from a two-dimensional, laminar vortex shedding state to one exhibiting three-dimensional motion. This transition is characterized first by the mode A instability, which develops in the region of primary vortex development at a Reynolds number of Re = 190. The mode B instability then follows at Re = 260, resulting from unstable perturbation growth in the braid region between primary vortices. At still higher Reynolds numbers, Re = O(1000), the separated shear layer immediately behind the cylinder begins to transition prior to primary vortex shedding. Through nonlinear simulations as well as a Floquet linear stability analysis, viscoelasticity was observed to stabilize both regimes of three-dimensional transition. Full nonlinear simulations revealed that for high enough polymer extensibility L at Re = 300, where mode B instability structures dominate for Newtonian flow, the wake could be reverted back to a state resembling two-dimensional, laminar vortex shedding. This was then confirmed using a Floquet stability analysis, showing significantly suppressed growth rates for both the mode A and mode B instabilities in the linear regime of their development. Mechanisms of this stabilization are presented. At Re = 3900, viscoelasticity again stabilizes the flow, though at this point through a suppression of the Kelvin-Helmoltz rollup instability present in the separated shear layer for Newtonian flows. Once a primary Karman vortex is allowed to form without the influence of a transitioned shear layer, the wake then reverts back to one resembling the mode B instabilities. Confirming this, a study was then performed at the same Reynolds number but allowing for an inhomogeneous polymer concentration throughout the flow field. By injecting polymer additives on the upstream side of the cylinder, it was found that stabilization of the shear layer and of the subsequent wake could be achieved without the presence of polymeric stresses in all downstream locations of the flow.

This book contains notes for a one-semester graduate course which is an introduction to the study of viscoelasticity and creep of concrete. Emphasis was set on the conceptual aspects rather than on the mathematical or computational refinements. The mathematical structure of viscoelasticity is discussed with some care because it clarifies the basic concepts and has important consequences in computa tional applications. Basic ideas are exemplified using the simplest problems and constitutive models in order to be able to show complete solutions. In the computational applications we have also chosen to present the sim plest situations with the greatest possible detail. It has been the author's experience that once the basic concepts are well understood the students are able to follow the rest of the course more easily and to accede to more advanced literature and applications. Chapters I to III furnish the foundations for the course, that may be expanded in diverse ways. If we are interested in finite elements applications we should look at Chapter IV and then go direct ly to Chapter VII. If we are interested in the simplified analysis of frame structures we should study Chapter VI in detail. Chapter V re views the viscoelastic behavior of concrete and Chapter VIII studies the problem of creep buckling. At the end of each chapter we give se lected references to works that complete and extend the subject matter.

A revised molecular approach to a classic on viscoelasticbehavior Because viscoelasticity affects the properties, appearance,processing, and performance of polymers such as rubber, plastic,and adhesives, a proper utilization of such polymers requires aclear understanding of viscoelastic behavior. Now in its third edition, Introduction to Polymer Viscoelasticityremains a classic in the literature of molecular viscoelasticity,bridging the gap between primers on polymer science and advancedresearch-level monographs. Assuming a molecular, rather than amechanical approach, the text provides a strong grounding in thefundamental concepts, detailed derivations, and particularattention to assumptions, simplifications, and limitations. This Third Edition has been entirely revised and updated to reflectrecent developments in the field. New chapters include: * Phenomenological Treatment of Viscoelasticity * Viscoelastic Models * Time-Temperature Correspondence * Transitions and Relaxation in Polymers * Elasticity of Rubbery Networks * Dielectric and NMR Methods With detailed explanations, corresponding equations, andexperimental methods, supported by real-life applications (as wellas the inclusion of a CD-ROM with data to support the exercises),this Third Edition provides today's students and professionals withthe tools they need to create polymers with more desirablequalities than ever.

Viscoelasticity: Phenomenological Aspects provides information pertinent to the phenomenological aspects of viscoelasticity. This book provides the basic approach to the behavioral description of viscoelasticity. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the development of various theories of linear viscoelastic theories. This text then presents the results of investigation that evaluate the linear viscoelastic parameters of typical polymeric materials. Other chapters consider the development of nonlinear stress-strain-time relations for viscoelastic materials, which have been helpful in the analysis of the linear mechanical behavior of rubberlike polymers and the molecular theories. This book discusses as well the application of linear theories and the behavior of a number of polymer systems and their similarities and differences. The final chapter deals with experimental observations of real materials that exhibit nonlinear, time-dependent stress-strain behavior. This book is a valuable resource for chemists, mechanical engineers, and research workers.
