For this, we use mixture models to handle component transport and conformation tensor methods to handle the fluid's viscoelastic stresses. In addition, we consider a bonding effects network to handle the impact of microscopic chemical bonds on phase transport. Our method supports the simulation of both steady-state viscoelastic fluids and discontinuous shear behavior. Compared to previous work on single-phase viscous non-Newtonian fluids, our method can capture more complex behavior, including material mixing processes that generate non-Newtonian fluids. We adopt a uniform set of variables to describe shear thinning, shear thickening, and ordinary Newtonian fluids while automatically calculating local rheology in inhomogeneous solutions. In addition, our method can simulate large viscosity ranges under explicit integration schemes, which typically requires implicit viscosity solvers under earlier single-phase frameworks.Keywords: fluid simulation, mixture models, Viscoelastic Non-Newtonian fluids CCS Concepts: Computing methodologies → Physical simulationfluid simulationmixture modelsViscoelastic NonNewtonian fluids CCS ConceptsComputing methodologies → Physical simulation10.1111/cgf.1518012 pages
