Work continues on efforts to elucidate the flow characteristics of              viscoelastic fluids through complex geometries, using experimental              results coupled with detailed mathematical models.  The research                examines the problems caused when elastic effects are comparable to or          greater than viscous effects.  Flow through a sudden contraction and            flow around a sphere are analyzed with a two-color laser-Doppler                velocimeter.  This project is the first successful effort to model such         non-Newtonian fluid flow that incorporates shear and elongation in the          finite difference numerical solutions.
