Upper Convected Maxwell Model - Case of Start-up of Steady Shear

Case of Start-up of Steady Shear

For this case only two components of the shear stress became non-zero:

and

The equations above describe stresses gradually risen from zero the steady-state values. The equation is only applicable, when the velocity profile in the shear flow is fully developed. Then the shear rate is constant over the channel height. If the start-up form a zero velocity distribution has to be calculated, the full set of PDEs has to be solved.

    Chinese proverb.

    I am absurdly fearful about this voyage. Various little omens have combined to give me a dark feeling.... Perhaps we shall live to laugh at these. But in case of mishap I should perish with my husband and child, perhaps to be transferred to some happier state.
    Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)

    I could never remember
    That seething, steady leveling of the marshes
    Till age had brought me to the sea.
