+#+TITLE: UCM model stabilization
+#+AUTHORS: Fernandes, C., De Araujo, M.S.B., Ferrás, L.L., Nóbrega, J.M.
+
+
+This tutorial was prepared to illustrate the new stabilization approach for viscoelastic constitutive models proposed in: 
+
+Fernandes, C., De Araujo, M.S.B., Ferras, L.L., Nobrega, J.M.,
+Improvements in the OpenFOAM numerical code for simulation of 
+steady-state differential viscoelastic flows, 11th OpenFOAM Workshop
+Guimarães, Portugal, June 26 - 30, 2016
+
+and 
+
+De Araujo, M.S.B., Ferras, L.L.,Fernandes, C.,Nobrega, J.M.,
+Improvements ans assessment of the integral viscoelastic solver in OpenFOAM, 11th OpenFOAM Workshop
+Guimarães, Portugal, June 26 - 30, 2016
+
+
+It comprises 2 case studies for the flow in a 4:1 abrupt contraction of an UCM viscoelastic fluid, for De=1
+
+- UCM_Orig - employs the original formulation that diverges before reaching the endtime 
+
+- UCM_Stab - employs the new stabilized formulation that allows to achieve convergence for all time steps
+
+######
+Notes
+######
+(1) To use the new stabilized formulation the value of etaStab should be provided in "constant/viscoelasticProperties". If ommited the solver uses the original formulation
+
+(2) Based on several studies performed, the value of etaStab should be similar to etaP
+
