The penalty method for the equations of viscoelastic media
Traveling wave solutions of Burgers equation for power-law non-Newtonian flows.
Two shallow-water type models for viscoelastic flows from kinetic theory for polymers solutions
In this work, depending on the relation between the Deborah, the Reynolds and the aspect ratio numbers, we formally derived shallow-water type systems starting from a micro-macro description for non-Newtonian fluids in a thin domain governed by an elastic dumbbell type model with a slip boundary condition at the bottom. The result has been announced by the authors in [G. Narbona-Reina, D. Bresch, Numer. Math. and Advanced Appl. Springer Verlag (2010)] and in the present paper, we provide a self-contained...
