Dimensional mobility parameter in the Giesekus model

ID: dimensional-mobility-parameter-in-the-giesekus-model

When and the bead hydrodynamic mobility matrix is , has inverse-stress units. With , and , the dimensionless mobility is . Thus and a positive-definite conformation tensor ensure a positive-definite mobility. The closed constitutive equation is , with and . This dimensional differs from conventions in which the symbol denotes itself.
