A semi-Lagrangian micro–macro method for viscoelastic flow calculations

We present in this paper a semi-Lagrangian algorithm to calculate the viscoelastic flow in which a dilute polymer solution is modeled by the FENE dumbbell kinetic model. In this algorithm the material derivative operator of the Navier–Stokes equations (the macroscopic flow equations) is discretized...
