Rotating-frame reduction of circular viscoelastic shear

ID: rotating-frame-reduction-of-circular-viscoelastic-shear

For azimuthal velocity , the velocity gradient in the rotating polar basis is . The basis rotates along a particle at angular speed . Accounting for that rotation in the material derivative replaces by in the upper-convected derivative. Its remaining shear rate is , so the local viscoelastic normal-stress difference follows the same constitutive algebra as simple shear flow.
