How to model in Ansys fluent a viscoelastic fluid that responds to the Phan-Thien -Tanner model?

Ethylene glycol is newtonian or non newtonian fluid?

Some sources say it is treated as Newtonian as ethylene glycol has a higher viscosity than water, which affects the flow characteristics in simulations. But some also say it is non-Newtonian.

I came across oscillations in a pressure profile for a pipeline flow along the axis of a cylinder, how do I prove that these are not numerical err?

In terms of CFD, we often analyze the stability of the error using Von-Neumann analysis, especially for FDM based problems. Should we follow the same approach for a compressible fluid flow using FVM ?

Dahang owen Tang

Dear Daniel,

I suggest you can use the ansys Polyflow solver to model the viscoelastic fluids as the PTT model is included in that solver.

Volodymyr Brazhenko

I think this model absent in Fluent. But you can try to include your model over UDF.

Dahang owen Tang Does Polyflow offer me the option to model a single flow using PTT?

Yes, it does.
