Abstract
The Arbitrary-Lagrange-Euler (ALE) formulation is applied to the analysis of unsteady viscoelastic flow of an Upper-Convected-Maxwell (UCM) medium. It is shown how the requirement of incremental objectivity affects the stress updating scheme. The current implementation of the ALE formulation uses the Time-Discontinuous/Galerkin-Least-Squares (TD/GLS) method to handle the advective parts of the equations. Further, the ALE formulation is compared with an Updated-ALE formulation that is shown to give comparable results but is much more cost effective. The technique presented is particularly effective for free surface flows. Three applications are given.
