Abstract
Steady axisymmetric flow of a viscoelastic incompressible fluid near the critical point of the plane surface is considered. Model of Maxwellian fluid with upper convected derivative in the rheological constitutive law is used. Velocity and extra stresses field are discussed for various Weissenberg numbers. The subclass of solutions in a stationary case is completely described. The asymptotic solutions for small Weissenberg numbers are compared to the solutions of the complete nonlinear problem. It is found that the fluid elasticity decreases the boundary layer thickness.
