#+TITLE: *PTT-Linear viscoelastic constitutive model README file for version 3.2*
#+AUTHOR: Jovani
#+DATE: 05 October 2010
* This is a simulation case for a viscoelastic fluid described by the linear form of
the Phan-Thien-Tanner constitutive model (PTT-Linear).
The geometry was the 4:1 plane contraction. This is a well studied
geometry in viscoelastic fluid flow research.

about the geometry, can be found at:
