Abstract

We investigate the stability of plane Couette flow for two constitutive relations which interpolate between the upper and lower convected Maxwell models. Perturbations perpendicular to the plane of flow are considered. No instabilities are found in the range of parameters where the fluid climbs a rod and the shear stress increases with shear rate.
