Abstract

We propose a mixed formulation for non-isothermal Oldroyd–Stokes problem where the bothextra stress and the heat flux’s vector are considered. Based on such a formulation, adual mixed finite element is constructed and analyzed. This finite element method enablesus to obtain precise approximations of the dual variable which are, for the non-isothermalfluid flow problems, the viscous and polymeric components of the extra-stress tensor, aswell as the heat flux. Furthermore, it has properties analogous to the finite volumemethods, namely, the local conservation of the momentum and the mass.
