Abstract

A nonlinear model of an elastoviscous polymer is used to describe a number of experimental factors associated, in particular, with the “solidification” of the moving medium. It is assumed that this flow suppression is connected with the existence in the polymer system of a large relaxation time with low weight, whose influence on the flow is associated with certain forms of nonlinear deformation.
