BY THE METHOD OF FINITE ELEMENTS

UDC 519.6:532.62

Flow between two plates is investigated numerically in 
the phase of reaching a steady-state value for a Newtonian fluid. 
Certain features of the application of the method of finite elements 
are discussed. The time of reaching the steady state by the flow is 
determined, which is constant for a wide range of parameters and fluids. 
It is noted that the results obtained can serve as the "point of departure" 
for comparing the considered flow with similar flows of viscoelastic 
and viscoplastic fluids and that the difference between the times 
of reaching the steady state by the flows can be used to evaluate 
the degree of non-Newtonian behavior of one fluid or another or of 
the model.
