Abstract

The effect of accumulation of reversible strains on the pressure head is analyzed theoretically for elastic and viscoelastic liquid flow from convergent channels. It is shown that, depending on the rheological features of the liquids, the pressure head can both increase and decrease as compared with the pressure determined by the Bernoulli formula. In particular, a situation in which a liquid flows out without any pressure head applied (paradox of “self-outflow”) is possible within the framework of the model. Transition to different viscoelastic liquid flow regimes as a function of the constitutive parameters is considered with reference to a channel with a sharp bottleneck (abrupt decrease in the cross-section).
