Theoretical predictions for upper-convected Maxwell fluids in mixed shear and planar extensional flows

Using a single flow-type parameter, we obtain analytic expressions for the unsteady and steady stress distribution for upper-convected Maxwell fluids in mixed shear and planar extensional flows, experimentally achieved in a four-roll mill. We propose two expressions to quantify the shear and extensi...
