Abstract
Resonance-like phenomena in axisymmetric Poiseuille flows of viscoelastic fluids are studied. It is shown that instantaneous flow velocities of the upper convected Maxwell fluid with a spectrum of relaxation times drastically increase at certain frequencies of the oscillating pressure gradient. This effect becomes more pronounced as the tube radius gets smaller. Non-linear constitutive structures are also considered to show that the most effective mean flow rate enhancement for pulsating flows can be reached at the resonance frequencies.
