Popis: This work is concerned with the development of a numerical technique for solving free surface flows of a Maxwell fluid. The governing equations for the flow of a Maxwell type fluid together with appropriate boundary conditions are given. The free surface stress conditions are treated in details. A novel formulation for calculating the extra stress components on rigid boundaries is given. The numerical technique presented in this work employs the finite difference method on a staggered grid and employs the ideas of the MAC (Marker-and-Cell) method. Numerical results demonstrating that this numerical technique can solve viscoelastic flows governed by the Maxwell model are presented. Moreover, validation results are presented.
