Abstract:
Characteristics of a system of equations that describe three-dimensional motion of an incompressible viscoelastic Maxwell medium with the upper and lower convective derivatives and the rotational Jaumann derivative being used in the rheological relation are calculated. An initial-boundary-value problem is formulated for the system linearized in the vicinity of the quiescent state, and its unique solvability is established.
Keywords:incompressible viscoelastic Maxwell medium, objective derivative, characteristics, linear model.
