Abstract

At this article studies of nonlinear viscoelastic fluid with one internal tensor parameter flow between parallel planes under a constant pressure gradient, taking into account the slipping phenomenon on the boundary. Numerically depending found on the components of the stress tensor and the flow velocity of the pressure gradient and the distance to the wall, enabled us to explain the emergence of non-parabolic profile of the flow velocity of the polymeric melt.
