A Computational Model for the Analysis of Spreading of Viscoelastic Droplets over Flat Surfaces

The spreading of viscous and viscoelastic fluids on flat and curved surfaces is an important problem in many industrial and biomedical processes. In this work the spreading of a linear viscoelastic fluid with changing rheological properties over flat surfaces is investigated via a macroscopic model....
